SYRIAN CHEESE SANDWICHES
This sandwich goes waaay over the top! From a local restaurant which sadly does not offer this sandwich on their menu anymore. The restaurant did not skimp on the cheese either. I think the restaurant's manager said they lost their local supplier. It's also been a long time since I tried this that I don't remember if the restaurant added herbs to the sandwich (if they did it was a light sprinkle of dried parsley or oregano). I, however, and thankfully I might add, found Syrian cheese recently at our local Middle Eastern store. I can't tell you the exact type of cheese it is other than describing it as hard/semi-hard, strongly flavored, white and salty. It could very well have been jibne baida which is what was used for this recipe. If anyone out there knows and is more familiar with Syrian cheese, could you please set me straight? Yes, three ingredients-ok, technically four!

Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potato and cook, tossing, until browned and beginning to soften, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the sliced pepper and onion and season with salt. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the potato is cooked through and the pepper and onion are browned but not completely soft, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, beat the eggs in a bowl and season with salt. Reduce the heat to low and give the pan a moment to cool. Pour in the eggs and cook, stirring constantly, until just set, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Toss the arugula with the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil and the vinegar in a bowl. Season with salt. Fill each roll with the scrambled eggs, cheese, if desired, and the arugula.

Tips:
- Choose the right cheese: The ideal cheese for this sandwich is a soft, white cheese that melts well. Some good options include mozzarella, cheddar, or Gruyère.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your sandwich will taste. Look for ripe tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and fluffy bread.
- Season your sandwich well: Don't be afraid to add plenty of salt and pepper to your sandwich. This will help to bring out the flavors of the other ingredients.
- Don't overstuff your sandwich: A well-made sandwich should be easy to eat without falling apart. If you overstuff your sandwich, it will be difficult to bite into and will likely fall apart.
- Grill or toast your bread: Grilling or toasting your bread will help to give it a nice, crispy texture. This will also help to keep the sandwich together.

Syrian cheese sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
