SAUSAGE EGG AND POTATO SKILLET RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°.
• In a 10-inch cast iron skillet brown sausage until crumbly and medium brown in color.
• Stir as required.
• While sausage is browning peel potatoes and cut in to 1/2-inch cubes, chop onion and mince garlic.
• After browning, remove sausage from pan with a slotted spoon, add potatoes to pan and carefully brown them in the sausage fat.
• Remove potatoes from pan and add to reserved sausage.
• Add butter to pan (if required), once butter is melted add onion and cook until slightly brown and soft, add garlic and cook till aromatic.
• While onions are browning, light whisk eggs, half-and-half and sugar till slightly foamy.
• Return potatoes and sausage to pan, mix well with onion and garlic.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Pour egg mixture over sausage/potato/onion, sprinkle on 1/2 the cheese and mix, sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
• Place pan in preheated oven; cook for 10 minutes and then lower heat to 350° and cook for an additional 10-20 minutes (depending on how you like your eggs). Keep an eye on the pan--if the cheese gets too brown, then cover with buttered aluminum foil.
• Serve with hot sauce and toast.
• •Variations:.
• Add mushrooms, green pepper, red pepper and sauté with the onions.
• Season the egg mix with hot sauce, replace half-and-half with yogurt.
• Cheese selections, I prefer a small amount of provolone and Parmesan mixed in the eggs with none on top--the wife likes cheddar on top and mixed inches.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease an 11x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Place cubed potatoes in a large microwave-safe bowl and partially cover with a lid. Microwave on high for 4 minutes. Remove from the microwave and spread on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir breakfast and chorizo sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Add bell peppers, onion, and mushrooms. Saute until bell peppers and onion are softened, about 5 minutes. Spread mixture over the potatoes.
• Beat eggs in a bowl and add milk. Pour beaten eggs over everything in the baking dish and move around a bit with a spoon to evenly disperse. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over top until well covered. Cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake until egg is set, about 1 more hour. If cheese starts to brown too much, cover again with foil for the rest of the baking time.
