Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Heat a large nonstick skillet or grill pan for the patties, another medium skillet for the peppers and onions, over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Drizzle the nonstick pan or grill pan with EVOO and fry the sausage patties in 2 batches, 2 hot and 2 sweet at a time. The patties cook in 5 to 6 minutes per side, so you can make 2 batches in less than 30 minutes.
Step 3
While the sausages cook, add 1 tablespoon EVOO to the second skillet and fry up the peppers, onion, and garlic for 6 to 7 minutes, until tender but still full of color and a little crunch. Season the veggies with the red pepper flakes and salt to taste.
Step 4
To assemble, pile some peppers and onions on a sweet sausage patty. Top with 2 slices of the provolone and a hot sausage patty. Press to set. Hold the patties under a foil tent for 1 minute so the cheese melts and the 2 patties and veggies all stick together.
