Cajun Girl Crawfish Omelet

" Laissez les bons temps rouler "

A.K.A.

Let the Good Times Roll!

Ingredients:



• 3 eggs
• 2 Tbsp. chopped trinity (onions, bell peppers, celery)
• 1 baby portabella mushroom, chopped or a few chopped slices of large one
• 2 to 3 Tbsp. crawfish tails
• 1 meatball size scoop of loose breakfast sausage (love U.S. Wellness Meats)
• 1 Tbsp. butter (I used KerryGold Grassfed butter)
• 2 strip bacon
• Cajun seasoning to taste (see recipe below)
• Sea salt to taste

Directions:
In a skillet, add butter and melt.  Add trinity and mushrooms.  Saute until onions are softened. 

 



Add sausage and brown. 

 

 

Add crawfish to mix and cook about 45 sec. to one minute, until crawfish are cooked. 

 



Scramble eggs with Cajun seasoning and sea salt.

 

 

Pour eggs over your meat and veggie mix in the skillet.

 

 



Cook omelet until firm or to your liking.  Serve with a side of bacon and ENJOY!

I use this recipe from Emeril for my Cajun Seasoning.  I make and keep in a shaker jar so I always have on hand.  Great way to have that Cajun kick without all the MSG and chemicals from the Cajun mixes sold in stores.
