Satsuma Breakfast Gumbo

Have you ever wanted to have gumbo for breakfast? Well I sure do! Recently I was in Alabama and my girl Plain Chicken came across a gas staton that serves a breakfast gumbo and she immediately sent me the article! I knew I had to make my own version – let the drooling begin! 

What is Breakfast Gumbo? 

The Chevron gas station in Satsuma, Alabama came up with it and they deserve an award!! This isn’t a traditional gumbo – but it is a delicious one! Down in Alabama they use Conecuh smoked sausage, which you can’t come by up in here in Ohio, so I used Andouille instead. There’s cheesy grits – I used the same recipe that I recently made with this Shrimp and Grits – they’re the best grits I’ve ever had! Then you top it with all these great breakfast items like eggs, sausage, bacon and more! 

What is Conecuh Sausage? What is Andouille Sausage? 

Conecuh sausage is a hickory smoked pork sausage you can only get in Alabama. You can get Conecuh sausage on Amazon – but it’s pretty pricey. Andouille is also a smoked pork sausage. So they’re very similar – it’s just a difference in the spice blend. If you’re not from there – the Andouille is readily available and a good substitute. I would recommend getting a higher quality brand – I found Aidells Andouille and went with that.

How to cook Breakfast Gumbo

Grits Cake

1. grease 9x9x3pan
2. in saucepan combine the water, butter, salt and pepper bring to a boil
3. gradually stir in the grits and continue to stir until all the water is absorbed and the grits become thick but are still smooth, about 5 min
4. add the cheeses, bacon and green onion
5. stir until thoroughly mixed
6. while hot pour the grits into the prepared pan
7. refrigerate to cool and allow the grits to set up (at least a few hours)

Gumbo Toppings

1. heat fry pan to medium and add bacon – cook for 3-5 minutes just until it starts to get done – do not let it get crispy
2. remove bacon from pan and set on paper towel to absorb excess oil
3. pour bacon fat except for 1 tbsp out of pan
4. add andouille and sausage patties to pan and heat through for 3-4 minutes
5. remove sausage from pan and set aside in bowl
6. in a fresh pan, heat butter to melting – keep pan and medium low
7. in a bowl, beat together eggs and cream cheese
8. add eggs to hot pan and slowly fold and stir until eggs are cooked through – do not overcook – should remain a little “juicy”
9. remove eggs from pan and place in bowl and set aside

Gumbo Assembly

1. just before serving, cut the grits into four squares
2. coat both sides of each cake in flour
3. preheat the veg oil in a non-stick skillet over medium high heat
4. pan fry the grits cake until golden brown and hot – about 3 min per side
5. place one grits cake in a shallow bowl and cover with eggs, bacon, sausage, diced green onions and sprinkle with hot sauce
