Method

Eggs

  1. 1

    Cook the Eggs

    In a non-stick skillet, cook the eggs to your preference (scrambled, fried, or poached). Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Breakfast Potatoes

  1. 2

    Prepare the Breakfast Potatoes

    Cube the potatoes and toss them with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy.

Elk Sausage

  1. 3

    Cook the Elk Sausage

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the elk sausage links for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until browned and cooked through.

Black Beans

  1. 4

    Heat the Black Beans

    Drain and rinse the black beans. In a saucepan, combine the beans with cumin, garlic powder, and a splash of water. Heat over medium heat for about 5 minutes until warmed through.

Mushrooms

  1. 5

    Sauté the Mushrooms

    In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden and tender. Season with salt and pepper.

House Made Salsa

  1. 6

    Make the Salsa

    Dice the tomatoes and onion. In a bowl, combine the tomatoes, onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and let sit for 10 minutes for flavors to meld.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Assemble the Dish

    On a plate, serve the eggs alongside the roasted breakfast potatoes, cooked elk sausage, warmed black beans, sautéed mushrooms, and a generous scoop of house made salsa. Sprinkle queso fresco over the top.
