Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 4 links chicken sausage
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 0.25 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl. Add milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined and slightly frothy.
Heat half of the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken sausage links and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are fully cooked through and browned on all sides.
Once cooked, remove the sausages from the skillet and slice them into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Add the baby spinach and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
Pour the egg mixture over the spinach in the skillet. Use a spatula to gently stir the eggs, scraping the sides and bottom of the pan as the eggs begin to set.
When the eggs are about half set, add the sliced sausage back into the skillet. Continue to cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are fully cooked but still creamy.
Optional: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top of the eggs just before serving.
Serve hot, and enjoy your high protein scrambled eggs with spinach and sausage!
