Cajun scrambled eggs is a recipe that puts a spicy Louisiana twist on traditional breakfast dish of andouille sausage and eggs. Green pepper, onions, and of course Cajun spice are other key ingredients.
Cajun scramble, or creole scrambled eggs, are in an easy way to give your breakfast a southern flair.
You could add a couple more ingredients to this recipe to give it these creole scrambled eggs even more creole.
- First you could start by cooking one cup of chopped potatoes in the oil before the onions and pepper.
- You could also add 1/2 of a grated cheese like cheddar along with the egg mixture.
This recipe for creole scrambled eggs leaves potatoes and cheese out. Instead, this spicy scramble focuses on the andouille sausage. It actually is more of “andouille sausage and eggs” rather than “eggs and andouille sausage.”
Cajun scrambled eggs are among the easiest Creole breakfast dishes to make. You likely have all the ingredients on hand. Just make sure you have that Cajun spice to add to the eggs!
