Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 4 links breakfast sausage
- 3 stalks scallions
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and whisk them together with the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy. Set aside.
Remove the sausage links from their casings if necessary and break them into small chunks.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the sausage chunks and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring often, until browned and fully cooked. Transfer the sausage to a clean plate and set aside.
While the sausage is cooking, thinly slice the scallions. Separate the white parts from the green parts and set both aside.
Reduce the heat to low and add the unsalted butter to the skillet. Once melted, pour in the egg mixture.
Stir the eggs gently with a spatula, moving them slowly across the skillet, to create soft curds. Continue stirring until the eggs are mostly set but still creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the cooked sausage and the white parts of the scallions. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the ingredients are warmed through and well combined. Remove from heat.
Garnish the scrambled eggs with the green parts of the scallions and serve immediately. Enjoy your creamy scrambled eggs with sausage and scallions!
