Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 8 pieces breakfast sausage links
- 2 medium apple (such as Honeycrisp or Gala)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the apple slices and sprinkle with ground cinnamon.
Cook the apples for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and slightly caramelized. Drizzle with maple syrup and transfer to a bowl. Set aside.
In the same skillet, add the olive oil and heat it over medium heat. Add the breakfast sausage links and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they’re browned and cooked through. Transfer the sausages to a plate and keep warm.
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
In a clean skillet, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter over medium-low heat. Pour in the whisked eggs and let them cook gently, stirring occasionally with a spatula, until they’re softly scrambled and cooked to your preference.
To assemble, divide the scrambled eggs, sausages, and caramelized apples evenly among four plates. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
