Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 large russet potato
- 8 ounces breakfast sausage
- 1 small yellow onion
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 stalks green onions
Instructions
Peel and dice the russet potato into small 1/2-inch cubes.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced potato and cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
While the potatoes cook, dice the yellow onion and red bell pepper. Slice the green onions and set aside for garnish.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the breakfast sausage and break it into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5-6 minutes until browned and cooked through.
Add the diced yellow onion and red bell pepper to the skillet with the sausage. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables soften.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it evenly. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes, then gently stir and fold the eggs as they begin to set.
Once the eggs are almost fully cooked, add the cooked potatoes back into the skillet and stir to combine.
Sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the top and cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy your hearty Country Breakfast Scramble!
