Ingredients
- 1 small head green cabbage shredded or chopped
- 1 lb smoked sausage or bacon diced
- 1 medium yellow onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tbsp butter or cooking oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp Italian herbs or onion powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish optional
Instructions
- Prepare the cabbage by shredding it. For maximum crispiness, lightly salt the cabbage and let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture, then pat dry with paper towels.
- In a large cast-iron skillet, cook the diced smoked sausage or bacon over medium-high heat until browned and crispy. Remove the meat from the pan and set aside, reserving the rendered fat.
- Add butter or oil to the skillet if necessary. Sauté the diced onion until translucent, then add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the shredded cabbage to the hot skillet. Spread it out and let it fry undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to char the edges, then toss and continue cooking until tender-crisp.
- Return the cooked sausage to the pan. Season the mixture with paprika, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper, stirring well to combine.
- Create four small wells in the cabbage hash using a spoon. Crack an egg into each well.
- Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook for 5-7 minutes until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny (or cook to desired firmness).
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
