Skillet Breakfast with Spicy Sausage and Fire Roasted Jalapeño Peppers

Fall is the perfect time for spicy dishes. And when those temperatures start to drop a hot and spicy breakfast seems appropriate. I cook breakfast every morning for my family but on the weekend it is usually an extra special breakfast. This morning with the cool temperatures and that fall smell in the air I was hungry for a hearty breakfast. I make skillet breakfasts often and what is really nice is that you can use whatever you have on hand. And today this it what I had – the jalepeno peppers where leftovers from a steak dinner and I had picked some fresh Rosemary for a friend and it smelled so good I had to add it in . . . . . . this morning’s skillet breakfast is what came from a few left-overs and a craving for some spicy food. I hope you love it and enjoy the different flavors. I thought it was spectacular and just had to share it with you all.
Skillet Breakfast with Spicy Sausage and Fire Roasted Jalapeño Peppers

Directions: In extra large skillet cook the sausage. Fry sausage according to package directions. Drain off excess fat and set aside. In a separate skillet cook potatoes, onion and bell pepper, season with fresh rosemary, Lawry’s salt and pepper. Cook until nicely browned. About 25 – 35 minutes. Add spicy sausage and jalapeños to skillet and mix well; cover with shredded cheddar cheese. In a small frying pan fry egg sunny side up. Serve potato mixture onto plate and cover with fried egg. Garnish with red chili and serve immediately.

TIP: Frying eggs can be difficult – here is a trick I have learned over the years. If you use a nice non-stick pan and coat with a drop or two of cooking oil, spread the oil with a paper towel this also absorbs the excess oil. Heat pan on medium heat and then add the egg. Cover with a glass lid. The egg will cook faster this way. Keep a close eye on it. Cook until the top of egg is white. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
