This Mardi Grass breakfast casserole recipe brings together the French creole and Cajun cuisine of New Orleans for phenomenal celebratory flavor!
I’ve never been to New Orleans. Even so, I wanted to come up with a Mardi Gras inspired recipe using big and bold flavors…essentially a party in your mouth.
I used a premium fully cooked Andouille sausage, which made getting creative in the kitchen really easy and super fun. Sourcing is very important in this recipe, so source the best quality ingredients that you can.
Mardi Gras Breakfast Casserole (Full recipe in recipe card further below)
Serves: 6-8 Prep: 10 min Cook 20 min
Ingredients:
package Andouille Sausage (chopped)
eggs
cream
croissants
cayenne pepper
hot paprika
butter
green peppers (diced)
onion (chopped)
dried thyme
diced canned tomatoes (drained)
cheddar cheese
* Maple syrup to taste
Directions
Preheat oven to 350˚F
In a hot oven-proof skillet heat butter, onions, thyme and peppers on medium heat until soft.
In a large bowl beat eggs, cream, cayenne pepper and paprika together and set aside.
Tear croissants into bite-sized pieces.
Sauté croissants pieces with onions and peppers in skillet for about 1 minute so that it will absorb the flavor of the thyme and veggies
Add sausage and then eggs.
Scatter the tomatoes into the eggs and mix gently until eggs start to set
Sprinkle with cheese and bake for about 20 minutes.
Egg casserole will rise during baking and the cheese will be melted when ready.
The casserole will be firm. A toothpick inserted into the center of the casserole should come out clean.
