I decided to kick up my usual breakfast fatty recipe. Goal was sweet, salty, spicy, and smoky all working in concert without any one standout. I also wanted to add some new textures as well.
Jimmy Dean Maple sausage with Sugar Maple rub. I went a bit heavier on the rub this time to ensure the "sweet" did not get lost:
New textures: Hashbrowns and Tortilla
Puttin the fatty piston to work. Stuffing includes eggs, onion, garlic, red and orange bell pepper, red potatoes, green chili, diced ham, salt and pepper. When making breakfast hash for fattys, it is always advisable to make extra - this stuff is good on its own.
Wrapped and ready - just over 6 lbs ready to be smoked
Just back from the weber. I used apple wood to provide "smoky"
The payoff: Lightly fried slices on toasted english muffins with Tillamook sharp cheddar - egg mcmuffin style
I am pretty happy with the result - the sweetness of the rub was just right, the green chilie provides the right amount of heat, and the applewood smoke on the bacon lasts enough to make you want to take another bite.
Next up is to try a slice, open face on a muffin, with a sunny side up egg on top.
Cheers,
Winz
