Ingredients

  • ½ bag McCain Quick Cook Crinkle Fries (20 oz)
  • ½ cup prepared roasted Brussels sprouts or other leftover vegetable of your choice
  • ¾ cup prepared sausage gravy
  • 8 large eggs
  • ¼ cup whole milk or cream
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ½ cup fried onions

How to make it

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees  and air fryer to 390°F. Fill basket halfway with frozen fries. Air fry for 6 to 8 minutes. Slide basket out and shake halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  2. While fries are cooking, reheat the Brussels sprouts and sausage gravy to an internal temperature of 165°F and keep warm.
  3. Add eggs, milk, salt and pepper to a medium bowl and whisk until combined. In a medium nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the eggs and cook over low heat, stirring, until curds form and eggs are set, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  4. Transfer fries to a cast iron skillet or oven safe platter or casserole dish and cover the top with scrambled eggs. Add the Brussels sprouts then top with shredded cheddar cheese. Bake until cheese is melted, about 2 minutes.           
  5. Remove from oven and top with sausage gravy. Garnish with fried onions.

 

CHEF’S SUGGESTION: We recommend using maple flavored sausage when making your sausage gravy. To save time, sausage gravy can be made 1 day in advance.
