CHEESY CREOLE BREAKFAST SKILLET
Steps:
- For the Creole sauce: Whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, Cajun seasoning, paprika, pickle, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic and chives in a small bowl until combined. Cover and refrigerate until the skillet is done.
- For the skillet: Preheat the broiler. Toss the shrimp with the House Seasoning in a small bowl and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a large (12-inch) cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and green and red peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions begin to turn translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the shrimp, andouille and garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until the shrimp are opaque and the sausage is heated through, about 2 minutes.
- Add the eggs and milk and slowly scramble the mixture with a silicone spatula, scraping up large curds from the bottom of the pan. As soon as the eggs are almost set, but still a tiny bit runny (about 2 minutes), remove from the heat and sprinkle with the Cheddar.
- Broil until the cheese melts, 10 to 15 seconds. Remove the skillet from the oven, drizzle with some Creole sauce, and sprinkle with the green onions.
- Stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl.

CREOLE BREAKFAST BREAD PUDDING
This dish is ideal for any breakfast or brunch menu, and equally good at supper time when served with a nice green salad and a simple soup to start. Linguica sausage adds the right savory touch to kick this bread pudding up a notch or two. If you can't find linguica sausage or don't care for it use any garlicky sausage pork sausage.

- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large frying pan.
- Carefully remove hot potatoes from microwave and slice into small cubes, leaving the peel on. Potatoes should not be cooked enough for the skin to slide around or slip off the potato.
- Add potatoes,spices,salt and pepper to the oil, toss, and fry on medium-high heat, covered, about ten to fifteen minutes, tossing occasionally.
- When potatoes begin to look cooked through, remove lid and allow them to brown, tossing occasionally, for about five to ten more minutes. Serve hot.
