Oh my...brunch/breakfast amight be my favorite! And these look sooo good!
Marguerite: did I tell you I'm visiting New Orleans in Oct? 6 of my oldest (literally) friends and I are flying in to spend 4 days celebrating our (ahem) 60th b-day year. We are sooo looking fwd to it. I will be asking for Garden District & French Qrtr dining recommendations from you. They don't all have to be fancee either. My favorites, from three previous trips are: Arnaud's, Gallatoire's (SP?), a hold in the wall owned by Paul Prudhomme which I don't recall the name, Antoine's, Brennan's and many drinking establishments. I've never eaten at Commander's Palace but I bet it's still awesome. No nouveau cuisine. Just good French, Creole & Cajun fare. Love the Cafe du Monde too. I mean, who can resist chicory coffee & beignets?
Down the road and I'll email.
Your brunch entree, andouille sausage, egg, bread looks awesome.
I found your blog a few months ago and I just have to say that your recipes are fantastic! My family and I have loved everyone that we've done. I can't wait to make this one. Thanks for all the great recipes!
Those dishes really look good. My main meal is always a late lunch and I like breakfast foods sometimes. Thanks.

drooling, really drooling.
This all looks so good.. do you have an out door kitchen... then how the heck do you cook in that heat???
I'd be living on salads and boiled shrimp... and a few blended libations.
Sure beats the pants off a bag of crisps, any day! LOL
Yet another mouth watering creation - wish I was there to 'tuck in' and enjoy with a Cajun bloody Mary! LOL
Hello, Breakfast! Looks like another recipe to try. I made your Choc. Chip Pecan Cake (and blog about it & you in my post) and tried your Cream of Crab soup & Crab Cakes which made for a scrumptious dinner. Thanks for all the yummy ideas. Keep 'em comin' ; )
I can taste the food right through the site.

Hi Margurite,
This is a great breakfast casserole. I just love all those cajun seasons that will really give it some great flavor. The next time I have a crowd for breakfast this is what they are having. Hope you are having a great week end and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday!
See you soon,

OMG!!! This is a to die for breakfast/brunch if I ever saw one. All my favorite foods rolled up into one fantastic meal! And then wash it down with a spicy Cajun Bloody Mary. That is living the good life for sure!
I know some friends and family who would really enjoy this spicy breakfast casserole. I have been learning to incorporate andouille sausage in more of my dishes.

I am so excited to be following you! I am subscribed via GF and via email....I LOVE to cook AND I am also a Cajun girl trying to desperately return to my roots. My family is from LA (father's family is from French Settlement and mother's is from New Orleans). I was born in NOLA and lived there until I was 7 and then we lived in Lafayette for the next 5 years. When my family moved to the MS Gulf Coast while I was in middle school, my new friends had a hard time deciphering my "cajun talk" but I guess I outgrew that after a few years there. I have been doing lots of research on family history and teaching my kids about their heritage....now I can include a daily Cajun Meal as well!!!
Thank you for following me at http://www.thegypsymom.blogspot.com
I am a new follower! Check out & follow my blog-- I am fairly new to this!
I love your recipes. I have a friend who recently moved back home after living in Baton Rouge for a little while. I will be using some of your recipes-- he always wants authentic cajun food!
Oh, this sounds like such a delicious, spicy breakfast entree...I'll have to make it next time my dad comes to visit :)
New follower from the Sunday Hop!
