  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
For Cooking & Finishing
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • your favorite seasoning, to taste
  • fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • Smoker or grill
  • Cast Iron Skillet
  • Instant-Read Thermometer
  • Cutting Board

Method
 

Smoke & Prep
  1. Smoke the sausages until they reach 165°F internal temperature. Remove, slice, and set aside. You can use your favorite sausages for this recipe as well.
  2. Dice the onion, bell peppers, and potatoes.
  3. Parboil the potatoes for about 5 minutes, or until fork-tender. Remove from the hot water and let cool.
Build & Cook
  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and sauté the onions and bell peppers for about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the potatoes, season with your favorite seasoning, and cook until the potatoes are crispy and golden brown.
  3. Add the sliced sausages and combine everything together.
  4. Form 4 pockets in the skillet mixture and crack an egg into each pocket.
  5. Top with cheese and allow the eggs to cook while the cheese melts.
  6. Remove from the heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Parboil the Potatoes: Parboil about 5 minutes so the centers cook through, then let them cool. They crisp up fast in the skillet without staying raw inside.
Make Egg Pockets: Clear 4 pockets in the mixture before cracking the eggs so they hold their shape and each serving gets its own egg.
Swap the Sausage: The Sausage Boss Philly Cheesesteak sausage adds a cheesy bite, but any smoked sausage you like will work.
Sausage Temperature: Smoke the sausages to 165°F internal for a safe, juicy result before slicing.
