½ onion minced

1 can green chilies

2 to 3 per person (we used 28) eggs

1 red bell pepper diced

2 c. heavy whipping cream

2 c. pepper jack cheese

salt & pepper to taste

1 tsp cajun seasoning

1 lb sausage

‍

We use a cast iron skillet for these but any full metal pan will work. It needs to go under the broiler so make sure you don't use a pan with plastic handles. Dice the Onions and peppers and preheat the cast iron skillet over medium heat. Sauté with some olive oil until onions are translucent. In a bowl crack 2 dozen eggs for the larger skillet or 1 dozen for a smaller skillet(half the ingredients for the smaller skillet). We did 28 eggs for this one because we had a crowd.

Add the heavy whipping cream or whole milk, cooked vegetables and pepper jack cheese in a bowl. Add eggs, seasonings and sausage, mix well. We added some Sniders cajun seasoning in this variation.

Pour into preheated pan and cook on medium high on the stove top until the consistency is still runny but starting to cook and form chunks in the egg mixture. Do not cook too long and turn off the heat early because the pan still has a lot of heat and will continue cooking the egg mixture. Sprinkle about a cup and a half of cheese over the top. We did about half cheddar and half pepper jack. Cook under the broiler until golden brown cheese crust forms on the top. Remove from heat and enjoy!
