RECIPE Preparation
- Heat olive oil in a large (about 12”) skillet over medium flame. Add sausage and cook until some of the fat has rendered and sausage is nicely browned, about 7 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Raise heat to medium-high. Add onion and pepper, sauté until golden, about 6 minutes. Stir in garlic, paprika, cumin, and cayenne; cook about 2 minutes more. Add tomatoes and their juice and ½ cup water. Bring to a simmer. Add andouille back to the pan and continue to simmer until sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Taste for seasoning, add salt &/or pepper, if needed.
- One at a time, crack eggs into a ramekin then place on the tomato sauce. Repeat, spreading eggs evenly over the sauce’s surface. Cover the skillet and cook until eggs are just set, about 7 or 8 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve with bread.
