Dude Food Recipe from Jeff Bridges

Since I have a "Dude Food" section, I thought it would be appropriate to ask "the real deal DUDE from The Big Lebowski", Jeff Bridges, for one of his favorite recipes.

He sent me a favorite from a page in his Mom's, Dorothy Bridges, "Tried & True" recipe book.
Many thanks to both Jeff and Dorthy!

Bill's Scrambled Eggs with a Kick

Sunday morning after church, the entire family always looks forward to Bill's Scrambled Eggs.  No ho-hum eggs here...not with dried chilies and hot sauce!

They are not just hot though....they are also savory.

He is sharing his recipe:
1/4 to 1/3 lb of Jimmy Dean's Hot Sausage
2 shakes of dried chilis
Cook and crumble.

Beat 5 to 6 eggs and add 4 to 5 shakes of hot sauce, then pour over the crumbled sausage.
Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously until cooked soft.

Top with grated sharp cheddar cheese before serving.
Yum!  They are addictive!
Thanks for sharing your recipe Bill!
