How to Make Kicked Up Country Breakfast Emeril Lagasse Style

  1. Heat a large (12-inch) frying pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1 pound of sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 green bell pepper (chopped), 1 teaspoon of your favorite hot sauce, 1 teaspoon Essence (e.g., Emeril's Essence), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 4-5 minutes.
  4. Add 2 cloves of garlic (minced) and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add 2 pounds of small red potatoes (quartered) and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley and 1/2 cup chicken stock. Bring to a boil.
  7. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are tender and the liquid is mostly absorbed, about 10-15 minutes.
  8. Create 4 wells in the mixture using a spoon. Crack one large egg into each well.
  9. Cover and cook until the eggs are set to your liking, about 4-6 minutes.
  10. Sprinkle the cooked eggs with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of Essence and 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
  11. Serve immediately with hot toast or tortillas. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
