Dave Newhouse: Breakfast with class

When it comes to picking a favorite breakfast place, the debate can turn into a culinary Civil War, a dueling of taste buds, omelets at 40 paces.

The good egg

Get thin, get smart. One little oval package helps you make both happen, and you don’t even have to get a prescription for it .

Creole Smoked Sausage and Creole Hot Sausage


3 Yards small sausage casing
4 lb Lean pork (or 2 lb lean
-pork and 2 lb lean beef) 2 lb Pork fat
2 ts Finely minced garlic
2 ts Freshly ground black
-pepper 3 tb Salt
2 ts Cayenne
1/2 ts Ground bay leaf
1/4 ts Cumin
1/2 ts Chili powder
4 ts Paprika
1/2 ts Sugar
5 ts Colgin’s liquid hickory
-smoke New Orleans’ most popular sausage, a type of country sausage made with pork, or pork and beef. It’s not really smoked, but has a fine smokey flavor that makes it an ideal seasoning meat for our favorite bean dishes, gumbos, and jambalayas. We also like it pan grilled as a breakfast or dinner sausage. [Also makes great po-boys–ECT] Allow about 20 to 25 minutes for grilling. When used as a seasoning meat in other dishes, it requires no precooking. About 6 pounds of 6-8 inch sausage (To make HOT sausage, omit the liquid hickory smoke and add 1 tsp cayenne and 1 tsp black pepper.) Hot sausage is a good accompaniment to bean dishes or
smothered vegetables or as a breakfast sausage with grits and eggs. It is not recommended as a seasoning meat in traditional bean dishes as it is likely to overwhelm the flavor of the other ingredients. Prepare the sausage casings and stuffing. Mix ingredients lightly; the stuffing should be slightly coarse in texture. Cut the casing into 12 inch lengths and stuff. Allow 2 smoked sausages per serving.
