directions

  • Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
  • Add the sausage and cook, stirring to crumble, until browned, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the butter, and when melted, add the onions, bell peppers, 1 teaspoon of the Essence, the hot sauce, salt, and pepper, and cook, stirring, until soft, about 4 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  • Add the potatoes (and additional butter if needed to prevent sticking), and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 4 minutes.
  • Add the parsley and chicken stock, stir well, and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the potatoes are soft and stock is absorbed, about 10 minutes.
  • With a spoon, make 4 indentations in the mixture, and break an egg into each.
  • Cover and cook until the eggs are set, about 4 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the eggs with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of Essence and the cheese.
  • Serve immediately with hot toast or tortillas.

  1. I made this for a special Sunday breakfast. I found it took a lot longer to cook than the time in the recipe. It did have good flavour though & I liked the fact that it was a one-skillet meal, & as with most of Emeril's dishes, it was definitely "kicked up" :-). Would make this again, but definitely only as an occasional treat, because of the high fat content. Thanks for sharing.
     
  2. Seriously tasty. I used boiled potatoes and so left out the chicken stock, only using stock cube, no liquid. Perfect.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes: ? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again. ? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time. ? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK ? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all ? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
