Ingredients:
- 4 Italian sausages
- 4 slices of your favorite bread
- 4 slices of Jack cheese
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, mustard, etc.
Instructions:
- Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the Italian sausages until browned and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the olive oil and heat it over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers, and sauté until they become tender and slightly caramelized, about 5-6 minutes—season with salt, pepper, dried oregano, and dried basil. Stir well to combine all the flavors. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Preheat your oven to the broil setting.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Take a slice of bread and place a cooked sausage on it. Top the sausage with a spoonful of the sautéed onions and bell peppers. Then, place a piece of Jack cheese on top. Add any optional toppings you desire, such as lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, or mustard.
- Place the assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet and broil in the preheated oven until the cheese melts and starts to bubble about 2-3 minutes. Keep an eye on the sandwiches to prevent them from burning.
- Remove from the oven and carefully close the sandwiches with another slice of bread. Press gently to help everything stick together.
- If desired, cut the sandwiches in half diagonally and serve immediately while still warm. Enjoy your Italian Sausage and Jack Cheese Sandwiches for a delicious lunch!
