Sausage and Egg Skillet
Description
This skillet recipe begins with heating olive oil and cooking diced red potatoes until they start to soften, followed by the addition of chopped onions, salt, and pepper to develop sweetness and seasoning. Sliced andouille sausage is then incorporated, infusing the mixture with robust smoky and spicy flavor. Craters are formed in the cooked ingredients for cracking eggs, which cook in the oven to set the whites while allowing flexibility with yolk doneness.
After initial baking, sharp cheddar cheese is sprinkled atop and the dish is broiled briefly to melt and brown the cheese for a flavorful crust. The final touch is a scattering of coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley, adding a fresh herbal note and color contrast.
This skillet meal is filling and convenient, offering layered textures from soft potatoes to melty cheese and tender eggs. It’s served hot and can be adjusted to preferences by varying the egg doneness or cheese sharpness.
If preferring runnier eggs, the potatoes should be fully sautéed before adding the eggs, and the baking step can be skipped in favor of broiling directly to melt the cheese without overcooking the eggs.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 pound potato diced into 1 inch cubes, red
- 1/2 sweet onion chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 links andouille sausage sliced into 1/4 inch disks
- 4 egg
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese grated, sharp
- 1/4 cup flat leaf parsley coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Heat olive oil in 10 inch cast iron skillet or other oven proof pan over medium-high.
- Add potatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring to make sure they don't stick to the bottom. If they absorb all of the oil and/or stick, add just a little bit more olive oil.
- Add onion, salt and pepper and continue to stir. Cook for an additional 5 minutes or until onions are soft. Potatoes will start to soften, but won't be fully cooked.
- Add andouille sausage and cook for another 2 minutes. Using the back of your spoon, form 4 wells. Crack eggs into each well. Transfer pan from the stove top to the oven.
- Cook for 5 minutes. Remove, top with sharp cheddar cheese and return to the oven. Change oven setting to broil. Watch carefully and remove when cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove and top with fresh parsley. Serve Potato, Andouille Sausage and Egg Skillet piping hot.

Notes
- For runny eggs, cook potatoes fully before cracking eggs and skip baking at 400°F, broil directly for cheese melt.
