Cooking instruction summary:

Set oven rack two levels below broiler element and heat oven to broil. Line a baking dish with foil and set Poblano pepper on foil. Transfer to oven and broil pepper, rotating frequently, until skin has blistered and charred, about 8 - 10 minutes. Transfer pepper to an airtight bag, seal bag and allow to rest 5 minutes, or until cool enough to handle. Remove from bag and peel pepper, cut off top, make one slice down length of pepper. Remove and discard seeds and ribs. Pat inside of pepper dry with a paper towel, set aside. Heat 2 tsp oil in an 8-inch non-stick skillet slightly over medium heat. Whisk egg vigorously in a small bowl until frothy, 1 minute. Once oil is hot, carefully pour egg into pan. Cook egg until golden, about 10 seconds, then using a spatula, fold egg into a half (as if you were making an omelet). Continue to cook just until nearly cooked through, about 10 seconds longer per side then transfer to paper towels to drain, set aside. To assemble sandwich, brush 1/2 tbsp butter on outsides of bread.

Food Joke

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper was. Over the course of the evening, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the housekeeper than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional." About a week later, the housekeeper came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner." Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which said "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with your housekeeper, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with your housekeeper. But the fact remains that if she were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"
