Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons half-and-half cream
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 1 medium, diced green bell pepper
• 1 medium, diced celery stalk
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1 cup (drained if canned) diced tomatoes
• 2 links, sliced cooked Andouille sausage
• 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon (optional) hot sauce
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
• 2 medium, sliced (for garnish) scallions
• 0.25 teaspoon (to taste) salt
• 0.25 teaspoon (to taste) black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk them together with the half-and-half cream, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter until it is foamy.

Step 3

Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and celery to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the diced tomatoes and sliced Andouille sausage to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the ingredients to blend together.

Step 6

Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, and optional hot sauce over the vegetable and sausage mixture. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Let the eggs sit for 10-15 seconds before gently stirring with a spatula.

Step 8

Continue to cook the eggs, stirring gently and continuously, until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remove the skillet from the heat immediately to prevent overcooking.

Step 9

Sprinkle the scrambled eggs with chopped parsley and sliced scallions for a fresh finish.

Step 10

Serve the Creole Scramble hot with toast, biscuits, or a side of your choice.
