Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 4 pieces breakfast sausage links
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon cooking oil
- 1 tablespoon chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of cooking oil.
Add the breakfast sausage links to the skillet. Cook for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until fully browned and cooked through. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel and reduce the heat to medium-low.
Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet and let it melt. Gently crack the eggs into a bowl, then carefully add them to the skillet one at a time to keep the yolks intact.
Sprinkle the eggs with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Cook for 3–4 minutes for sunny-side-up eggs, or flip them and cook for an additional minute for over-easy eggs.
Remove the eggs from the skillet and plate alongside the sausages.
Optional: Garnish with chopped chives for added flavor and visual appeal.
Serve immediately and enjoy your hot, delicious breakfast!
