Ultimate Egg Scramble
the perfect savory way to eat scrambled eggs
Equipment
- 1 nonstick skillet medium to large size
- 1 sharp chopping knife
- 1 metal whisk medium size
- 1 plastic spatula
Ingredients
- 6 strips bacon
- 3 links andouille sausage
- 2 jalapeños
- 1/2 onion
- 1 whole tomato
- 6 eggs (farm fresh are the best)
- 1 bottle Yellowbird Classic Serrano Hot Sauce
Instructions
- Cook bacon in skillet over medium heat, keep leftover grease in the pan.
- Chop andouille sausage while bacon is cooking.
- Set cooked bacon aside on a plate with a paper towel to absorb extra grease.
- Cook and brown andouille sausage in leftover bacon grease. Remove from skillet and set aside (leaving excess grease in the pan) when cooked.
- Core and remove stem / seeks from jalapeños, chop along with onions and combine. Set aside in a small bowl.
- Sautee chopped peppers and jalapeños.
- Crack eggs in medium size glass measuring cup or small bowl, whisk to mix and add desired seasoning (I use Traeger)
- Wash and chop the tomato, removing any parts of the stem.
- When onions are turning brown / translucent, add cooked bacon and sausage, along with tomato.
- Add scrambled / whisked eggs, stirring periodically to cook evenly.
- Remove eggs and put in a serving bowl when cooked, when eggs are still a little moist and not fully dry / hardened.
- Serve and enjoy with your desired hot sauce: Yellow Bird, Pace Picante, Tabasco, or Sriracha Chili Sauce
Notes
Leftover brisket or pulled pork can be substituted for bacon and sausage, or Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage can be used. This combination of bacon and andouille sausage is excellent, however. Costco’s andouille sausage is a great value and tastes fantastic.

We love to enjoy egg scrambles for breakfast or brunch at our house, and this one is a winner. No potatoes included, so it’s low carb. This recipe can serve from 2 to 4 people, depending on the side items you also offer and everyone’s appetite!
Here’s a photo of the cook right after combining the cooked bacon and sausage with the peppers and onion, just before adding the whisked eggs.
It’s always great to have some good options for hot sauce to add to eggs. A few of our favorites include Tabasco (original), Hot Chile Sriracha, Yellowbird Serrano, and Pace Chunky Salsa!
When cooking the eggs, remember not to OVERcook them! Remove from the heat before the egg
