Breakfast Po Boy

This might not really be a Po’ Boy, but I did use a French baguette for the bread and it sounded like a good title. Remember a few days ago when I posted scrambled eggs and Kielbasa, well I still had a 2” piece of kielbasa and the baguette needed to be eaten. I sautéed the meat and some chopped onion, then added 2 eggs which had been beaten with S&P, garlic powder, a little Tabasco, and diced cheddar cheese. I folded them slowly to create more of an omelet than a scramble – hoping it would stay on the sandwich better. I slid it onto the bread, which had been warmed and mayo’d – most of the Kielbasa ended up hidden.

I don’t know why I can’t remember to add a little chopped greenery for pretty – maybe because it was 6:30am and I’d been up since 3am and was hungry - or some lettuce and tomato would have made ot more authenic. With the toughness of the baguette crust and the softness of the eggs, I only went two bites before realizing the eggs would soon all be squished out onto the plate, so I used a knife and carefully cut off bites – it tasted just as good. I considered eating it open-faced and should have. Lesson learned, soft stuffing requires soft bread.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

  1. There is nothing like a really good egg sandwich in the morning. Authentic po boy or not, this sounds delicious!

  4. I think that shake of tobasco earns it the official title of Po-boy. If I would have had this combination in front of me, greens would not have entered my mind either.

  5. Ah, the bread lesson. The reverse is true as well. Chewy ingredients need chewy bread. Looks tasty, Larry.

  8. Larry, It's hard to beat Keilbasa, cheddar scrambled eggs and good bread for breakfast. Beats the hell out of the Special K cereal that I had this morning! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

  9. More Scrumptious looking food (I'm still recovering from the pesto in your previous post).

    It has been so very good to discover two special cooks who pay careful attention to their flavourings - these cooks are your self and your dear wife. Isn't the blogosphere wonderful!

  14. "soft stuffing requires soft bread."

    You can retire the boy out of engineering but you can get the engineering out of the boy:)

    Seriously, that is a great point about what you bring to cooking, the practical application. That's also why I like that www.cookingforengineers.com site. I love their overlapping gantt chart for timing.
