Here are a few of my favorite Easter brunch sides that I will be making for friends and family, this year. These great breakfast/ brunch casseroles are just fabulous and are wonderful for anytime of year. The first one, is a meal in itself and you will not be able to stop eating it! Cest bon, cher! Enjoy!
Cajun Sausage Cornbread
2 links Andouille sausage, diced
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup onions, chopped
2 tsp.'s minced garlic
2 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 3/4 cups yellow cornmeal
1 Tbs. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 tbs.'s Cajun seasoning, divided
1 can cream-style corn
Brown sausage, onions, and garlic in heavy skillet, until brown. Drain and sprinkle with half of the Cajun seasoning, mix well and set aside. In a large bowl, beat the buttermilk, eggs, and oil. Stir in the remaining ingredients and stir until blended. Then fold in the sausage/ veggie mixture. Mix well and pour into a buttered, 3 quart baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Oh, the flavors are so sinfully good, cher!
Bon Appetit!
