Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 ounces breakfast sausage
- 1 medium (diced) red bell pepper
- 1 small (diced) yellow onion
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 0.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the breakfast sausage to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced red bell pepper and onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes or until softened.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the baby spinach to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring, until wilted.
Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, stirring gently to coat the sausage and veggies evenly.
Cook the scramble over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally with a spatula, until the eggs are just set, about 4-5 minutes.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top and allow it to melt, about 1 minute.
Remove from heat and serve immediately. Enjoy your hearty breakfast scramble!
