Ingredients:

• 1/2 pound pork sausage
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 1/2 green bell pepper, diced
• 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 Idaho potato, peeled and diced
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 cups chicken stock
• 4 eggs
• 1/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
• Hot sauce, to taste
• 1 teaspoon Emeril’s Essence (recipe follows)
• Hot toast or tortillas, for serving

Emeril’s Essence (Optional):

• 2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
• 2 tablespoons salt
• 2 tablespoons garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon dried thyme

Instructions:

1. Prepare Emeril’s Essence (Optional):

   • In a small bowl, combine all the spices: paprika, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, onion powder, cayenne pepper, dried oregano, and dried thyme. Mix well and set aside.

2. Cook Sausage:

   • Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
   • Add the pork sausage and cook, stirring to crumble, until browned, about 3 minutes.

3. Sauté Vegetables:

   • Add the unsalted butter to the pan.
   • Once melted, add the diced onions, green bell peppers, red bell peppers, 1 teaspoon of Emeril’s Essence, hot sauce (to taste), salt, and black pepper.
   • Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft, about 4 minutes.

4. Add Aromatics:

   • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

5. Cook Potatoes:

   • Add the diced potatoes to the pan.
   • If needed, add additional butter to prevent sticking.
   • Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are lightly browned, about 4 minutes.

6. Simmer:

   • Add the chopped parsley and chicken stock to the pan.
   • Stir well and bring the mixture to a boil.
   • Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the potatoes are tender and the stock is absorbed, about 10 minutes.

7. Add Eggs:

   • Using a spoon, create 4 indentations in the mixture.
   • Crack an egg into each indentation.
   • Cover the pan and cook until the eggs are set, about 4 minutes.

8. Final Touches:

   • Sprinkle the cooked eggs with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of Emeril’s Essence and the grated cheddar cheese.

9. Serve:

   • Serve immediately, accompanied by hot toast or tortillas, and savor the delicious flavors of this kicked-up country breakfast!
