Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 2 links plant-based sausage
- 0.5 cup dairy-free cheese shreds
- 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
Instructions
Slice the plant-based sausage links into small rounds about 1/4 inch thick.
In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and heated through, about 5 minutes.
While the sausage is cooking, crack the eggs into a large bowl. Add the unsweetened almond milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and light.
Reduce the skillet heat to medium-low. Pour the egg mixture over the sausages in the skillet.
Gently stir the eggs continuously with a spatula, scraping the bottom of the skillet to form curds, until they are about halfway cooked, approximately 3 minutes.
Sprinkle the dairy-free cheese shreds over the eggs, and continue to cook while gently stirring, until the eggs are fully cooked and the cheese is melted, around 2 to 3 minutes more.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the scrambled eggs sit for a minute, allowing any remaining heat to finish cooking the eggs.
Garnish with chopped chives before serving.
Serve the Dairy-Free Cheesy Sausage Scrambled Eggs hot, directly from the skillet or transfer to a serving dish.
