Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 links cooked chicken sausage
- 1 medium bell pepper
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Chop the cooked chicken sausage into bite-sized pieces, dice the bell pepper, and thinly slice the red onion.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced bell pepper and red onion to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until they soften slightly.
Stir in the chopped chicken sausage and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing it to heat through.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables and sausage in the skillet.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs as they cook, folding them over the veggies and sausage to create a scramble.
Once the eggs are about halfway cooked, add the baby spinach to the skillet. Continue stirring until the spinach wilts and the eggs are fully cooked to your desired consistency.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the scramble and let it melt for about 30 seconds before removing the skillet from the heat.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Dog Days Scramble!
