Ate this in duck camp many seasons ago. Anyone have a recipe? Just going off a fading memory, it contained rice, eggs, bacon, breakfast sausage, onions and peppers? Good stuff.

Maybe those ingredients in a stir fry like fried rice with day old rice??

I wouldn't think eggs and bacon would come out good using a traditional jambalaya method but who knows.

Probably was a stir fry. All I remember is that it was some good eating!

JAMBALAYA AND GRITS
I take some good jambalaya I made yesterday and mix it with some good fresh grits I made this morning. A great meal.

JAMBALAYA EGG ROLLS
I like egg rolls. I'm thinking about getting big won ton wrappers and making jambalaya egg rolls. Sounds good especially when dipping into hot pepper jelly sauce.

I've made omelets stuffed with jambalaya and pepper jack cheese and it's a fantastic dish.

The hospital that we are connected to has breakfast rice which has everything that you listed. It is really good. I usually get an order of scrambled eggs to throw into it because I like it with a lot of eggs.

Breakfast jambalaya to me is just leftover jambalaya from the night before, mixed with eggs (or whatever else you are cooking) in the skillet. It's damn good and easy.

This is the correct answer OP

Or, like others said, it could be a stir fried rice, with some old jambalaya or like ingredients.

I’ve seen breakfast jambalaya on breakfast buffets. It’s basically rice dressing, made with Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage

That’s sounds more like a dirty rice.
Sounds like it would be damn good too

It's pretty good. Pentagon Cafeteria used to serve it in the 90s and they had it on the Shoney's breakfast buffet around the same time. Someone on here posted that there was a place in Baton Rouge that had it on their breakfast buffet - this was pre-COVID -- maybe the Holiday Inn at Florida and I-12?

It does. I use breakfast sausage and ground meat in my rice dressing / dirty rice.

Patillo's, a bbq place in Beaumont, has "Jambalaya" as a side, but in reality, it is pretty much dirty rice.



I know I'm getting off topic, but I'm curious if back in the day, people used "jambalaya" and "dirty rice" interchangeably in certain areas, especially Southeast TX. After all, they are infamous for spelling Boudin incorrectly - "Boudain".

Going to try a version of this tonight for dinner, my kids love jambalaya and breakfast food so should be a hit.

Going to make my normal jambalaya but use a roll of jimmy dean instead of the pork, add in the smoked sausage as usual. Cook a pack of bacon on the side and chop up to fold in after cooking then may also scramble a skillet of eggs and fold that in at the end as well or maybe just mix on together on the plate.

That's always been my understanding. I'll scoop a tablespoon of cold jambo into a skillet that's lightly oiled. Basically warm it over medium heat for a couple of minutes then drop in 3 beaten eggs. Scramble until the eggs are soft-scrambled. Plate up, couple dashes of Sriracha or hot sauce and I'm skipping lunch that day.

Ever tried Shoney’s rice? It’s basically breakfast jambalaya + laxative.
