    Stupid “Italian hoagie omelet” idea.

    I was in Wegman’s the other day, picking up some lunch meat for Mrs M, and I saw this:

    And I thought, “Sure, why not?” Wegman’s makes their own hoagies (subs) in house, and except their bread is just okay, it’s a decent sandwich. That’s spiced ham, capicola, and thin sliced salami. I picked up a quarter pound of provolone, and a 4 pack of kaiser rolls; I already had (have) tomatoes, onions, lettuce, olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, olives for tapenade, etc.. And tonight I made a deli sandwich for dinner, and it was a damn good one.

    Now, in that package there are 5 slices of spiced ham, 5 slices of capicola, and 7 slices of thin salami. I used 2, 2, and 3. So what that means is, after I make another deli sandwich, I’ll have a slice of each left. And I’ll have tomato, lettuce, onion, olives, pickled jalapeños, all that other stuff.

    So imagine taking those single slices of cold cuts and frying them up crisp, like fried bologna; melting provolone on them; dicing some tomato with some onion, and sautéing that in olive oil and oregano… amirite? I mean, dump that all on to some eggs that have been prepped to be filled, right? Then fold them over. Then top it with finely shredded lettuce, as a garnish, right?

    I dunno. The other choice would be to just make an Italian hoagie breakfast sandwich on a Kaiser roll. Like I made for dinner, but less hoagie stuff, and with a fried egg.

    Based on the date on the cold cuts, I got 5 days to decide.

    That is a profoundly stupid idea. Do it.

    Hey it won't be stupid only if it is a dud!
    I did something similar the other day. Even took pictures. It was a Philly cheese & ground beef Pattie. You now know what the results were.

      Actually I don’t think it’s a stupid idea at all. I bet it turns out pretty good.

          I’m not going to vote….. but might I suggest a Stromboli? Y’all know I’ve made several and it’s the way I use up cold cuts and other stuff on the edge. Extra cheese and a nice red sauce for dipping!

            I would go for that! Except I don’t like playing with dough, and store bought pizza dough is awful. As much as we love pizza, we only eat it maybe once a month. If it’s that infrequent, I don’t want to bother with learning it. It falls into the category of “another delicious thing that I can’t eat as much as I want to.” I gotta tell you, I bake one hell of a cake. And I kill with cookies. Can’t have ‘em.

            Mosca I’m not proud of this…. But I just used my first Trader Joe’s pizza dough tonight. I would use it for a Stromboli any time. While I love my homemade stuff, I ain’t mad at this product.

              I say go for it. I make scrambled eggs and salami so the hoagie omelet is just the next step.

                I would definitely do it. In fact, I used to make an omelet with salami, mozzarella, onions, some garlic powder, and probably some things I'm forgetting. Also, I'd mix some pesto sauce into the eggs before I cooked them. Haven't made one for a while, but now I've got the desire to.

                  I’ve done the pesto a few times. Like a bruschetta omelet. It’s pretty dang good.

                I once made an omelet with thick chunky stew-like chicken soup in it. True story. It was FANTASTIC. Everyone I tell this to thinks I'm nuts. I also made a chips & salsa smash burger (also true story), and guess what, it was fan-freakin'-tastic too. One time I tried broccoli on chicken nachos, that was a big fail. Moral of the story- if you like the ingredients and it sounds good, it likely will be. Then you'll have a great meal and a great story, but if it fails you still have the story.

                  I can see that chicken soup omelette working.

                You know, when you think about it, eggs go well with just about anything. I once worked with a guy that continually professed his hatred of eggs. Yet he ate them all the time. When asked why, he said because they’re the perfect vehicle for tabasco sauce. He carried a tiny bottle of it with him at all times. True story.

                    I say the same thing as Huskee - If it sounds good then it will be good! I will enjoy the mashup even if perhaps others may not enjoy as much as I do.
