Sausage Eggs Potatoes Giambotta

In every Italian household we would have leftovers, and make it for breakfast or another meal for Sunday dinner we called Giambotta.

Although giambotta is really a stew in Italian with eggplant, zucchini, bell peppers, potato, onion, tomatoes, garlic, basil, and olive oil are common ingredients and usually served as a main course, or alongside grilled meats, such as sausage or swordfish, pasta, polenta, or rice we do a breakfast version with all kinds of additions to eggs.

Whisk up some eggs and just about anything you have in the refrigerator goes into the pan and with the addition of fresh cubed tomatoes, you have a breakfast stew of sorts.

Meats, potatoes, cheeses, onions, and just about anything else your little heart desires.

The sausage peppers and potatoes were our classic favorites and like a big frittata.

Remember to use only Authentic Italian crusty bread when making a giambotta sandwich never American bread.
