Ingredients

Adjust servings4

1 tablespoon mayonnaise ½ teaspoon Cajun seasoning 2 slices toasted whole wheat bread 2 ounces andouille smoked sausage, cut in half lengthwise 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 large egg

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Assemble breakfast sandwich

Start by mixing the mayonnaise and Cajun seasoning together in a small bowl until it’s nice and smooth. Spread this flavorful mayo on both slices of toasted bread. Next, place the andouille sausage slices cut-side down in a skillet over medium-high heat. Let them cook for about 2 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes until they’re nicely browned. Move the sausage onto one slice of the bread, leaving a little gap between the halves—that way, the egg has a cozy spot to sit. In the same skillet, add a bit of oil and heat it over medium for about a minute. Crack an egg into the pan and let it cook undisturbed for 3 minutes. Flip it carefully and cook for another 2 minutes until it’s done to your liking. Finally, place the fried egg on top of the sausage, then sandwich it with the other slice of bread. Enjoy!

03 / EXTRA DETAILS

Cook's tip

- Use a non-stick pan to cook the eggs evenly without sticking.
- Toast the bread lightly to add a nice crunch and prevent sogginess.
- Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to suit your spice preference.

Serve with a side of fresh fruit or crispy hash browns for a complete meal. A dollop of creamy avocado or a slice of tomato can add freshness and balance the spices nicely.

Storage & leftovers

If you have leftovers, store the sandwich ingredients separately in airtight containers. Keep the eggs refrigerated and assemble the sandwich just before eating to maintain the best texture. Consume within 1-2 days for optimal freshness.
