Cajun Girl Eggs in a Nest!

Ingredients:

2 med. sweet potatoes, grated
1 cup trinity (onion, bellpepper, celery already chopped)
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 to 3/4 lb. sugar free breakfast sausage
1/2 cup pre-cooked crawfish
4 pcs. cooked bacon crumbled
Pink Himalaya salt, Cajun seasoning, and black pepper to taste
8 eggs
2 Tbsp coconut oil or grass fed butter


Directions:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees
• On med./high heat, melt 2 Tbsp coconut oil or grass fed butter.
• Once melted, add trinity and saute until soft, translucent, and beginning to turn a nice golden color. Add in garlic, cook until fragrant (about one minute).

• Next, add sausage, cajun seasoning, black pepper and salt to skillet and mix with trinity.  Brown sausage mixture and cook until done.

• While sausage is browning, peel and shred the two large sweet potatoes. 

• Add grated sweet potato to skillet with sausage mixture and cook until sweet potatoes are soft and just cooked through, about 3 minutes. To avoid sticking, stir frequently.  The sweet potatoes should not be mushy. We are just slightly softening to potatoes.  The rest will be done in the oven.
• After 3 minutes, add crawfish and cook for about 2 minutes until heated.  Not long, they will get tough.
• Remove from heat and place in dish of choice.  I used foil pans b/c I wanted to cook half now and take the other pan to work to cook later.  Note:  For the one I cooked later, I let cool and covered and place in fridge for later.  Once at work,  I added eggs and popped in oven.  Co-workers enjoyed a hot breakfast.
• Once mixture is in pan, sprinkle crumbled bacon ontop. 
• Next, I used the back of a measuring spoon to make a dent in the hash for each egg.  As you can see from pictures, I used four eggs in each. 
• Your dish is now ready for the oven!  Bake for 5-10 minutes, depending on how you like your eggs.

• To serve, scoop into a bowl and garnish with avocado chunks, fresh tomato, or even a few more pieces of crumbled bacon (my personal favorite).
• Enjoy!
