MEAT AND POTATO SCRAMBLE

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage, bacon and onion and saute until the meat is cooked through and the onion is golden, about 8 minutes. Drain off the fat. Add the potato, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook to warm the potato, about 3 minutes.
• Mix together the half-and-half, eggs and some salt and pepper in a pitcher or bowl until combined.
• Lower the heat under the skillet to medium low. Pour in the egg mixture and cook until soft, creamy curds begin to form, a few minutes. Add the cheese and green onions and cook, stirring, until the eggs are cooked and the cheese is almost totally melted, a few minutes more.

Steps:

• Heat a nonstick 12-inch saute pan over medium heat. Add butter and oil and swirl around the pan until melted. Add the country ham and saute until it begins to brown, about 3 minutes. Turn heat to low. Stir in roasted red peppers and beaten eggs. After the eggs begin to set, stir slowly from edge to edge with a heat-resistant rubber spatula until large curds form. This will take 5 minutes or so. When eggs are still moist and slightly runny, fold in the grated cheese and season with salt and pepper.
• Remove the pan from the heat and serve with fried green tomatoes and buttermilk biscuits with sorghum butter.
