Exciting, Eggy Jambalaya! Yum!

I had the pleasure of tasting my mother-in-law’s jambalaya version for several times already. I have to admit that she’s really the root of all this delicious food that my husband can cook. Hers was a bit spicy though, which finally made me realize where my husband got his spicy food addiction. I feel like she’s putting chili powder or red pepper flakes in everything she’s cooking. But spicy level aside, she really is one good cook.

Check out what our friends from The Cottage Mama have to say about this recipe:

“This morning I was scheduled to host our bi-weekly playgroup.  The group is pretty large, with 12 Mama’s, 12 two-year olds, and several younger siblings.  Typically the playgroup host provides some type of breakfast/brunch for everyone.  I wanted to try something new and saw a recipe on the back of the Zatarain’s Jambalaya mix that looked very interesting and right up my alley.”

It’s a simple dish that tastes so rich and flavorful that no one will complain. You can modify this recipe if you want- it won’t affect the quality. Enjoy eating this with your family.

 

Ingredients

1 family size box of Zatarain’s Jambalaya, prepared according to package directions
1 Smithfield ham steak, cubed
5 pieces of Hormel cooked bacon, crumbled
1 8oz bag of Sargento shredded Mexican cheese blend or Monterey Jack
3 green onions, sliced
1 cup Borden heavy cream
7 Eggland’s eggs
Parsley, optional for garnish
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Prepare Jambalaya mix according to package directions.  Use the cubed ham and crumbled bacon when the mix directions tell you to add the meat.  Meanwhile, beat the 7 eggs and heavy cream.  Add 3/4 of the bag of shredded cheese and the sliced green onions.  Once the jambalaya is cooked, allow to cool.  Once cooled, mix the jambalaya with the egg, cream, onion, and cheese mixture.  Stir to combine.  Pour combined mixture into a 9 x13 glass baking dish.  Sprinkle remaining cheese over the top.
Bake in the oven for 25 minutes.  Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.  Enjoy!
