Y’all, let me tell you about a breakfast that’ll make your taste buds do a happy dance! As a Southern girl who takes her morning meals seriously, I’m about to share my absolute favorite Louisiana breakfast recipe that’ll have your family begging for seconds.
This Cajun Breakfast Skillet is what dreams are made of, honey! It’s got everything you need to start your day with a kick – andouille sausage, perfectly seasoned potatoes, bell peppers, and eggs with just the right amount of spice. Trust me, this isn’t your mama’s basic breakfast!
What You’ll Need:
– 2 andouille sausages, sliced
– 3 medium potatoes, diced
– 1 red bell pepper, chopped
– 1 green bell pepper, chopped
– 1 onion, diced
– 4 large eggs
– Tony Chachere’s seasoning (because what’s Louisiana cooking without it?)
– 2 tablespoons butter
– Fresh parsley
– Hot sauce (optional, but are you even living if you skip it?)
Now, let me walk you through this magic, sugar!
First things first, get your cast iron skillet nice and hot – yes, it has to be cast iron, I don’t make the rules! Melt that butter and toss in your diced potatoes. Season them generously with Tony’s (don’t be shy now). Let them get all golden and crispy for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
(Hey y’all! If you’re loving this recipe so far, make sure to follow me on Newsbreak for more daily Southern deliciousness! I’ve got tons more where this came from!)
Add your sliced andouille, peppers, and onions to the skillet. Let everything mingle and get friendly for another 7-8 minutes. The smell at this point? Heaven on earth!
Now for the fun part – make four little wells in your mixture and crack those eggs right in there. Cover the skillet and let those eggs get perfectly set, about 5 minutes for runny yolks (because who doesn’t love that gorgeous yolk dripping all over everything?).
Sprinkle with fresh parsley, add a few dashes of hot sauce if you’re feeling spicy (like me!), and serve it up hot!
Let me tell you, this breakfast is better than a beach vacation in July! It’s got that perfect balance of spicy, savory, and oh-so-satisfying that’ll keep you full until lunch.
