Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 links leftover bratwurst
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 medium (diced) onion
- 1 medium (diced, any color) bell pepper
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (or to taste) black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Slice the leftover bratwurst into thin rounds or bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper and set aside.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté the vegetables for 3-4 minutes, or until they’re softened and slightly golden.
Add the sliced bratwurst to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pieces are heated through and lightly browned.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture over the bratwurst and veggies. Let the eggs sit for about 30 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula to create soft curds.
Continue to cook the eggs, stirring occasionally, until they are fully cooked but still tender, about 3-4 minutes.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the scramble and gently fold it in until melted and evenly distributed.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the scramble with fresh parsley, if using.
Serve hot and enjoy your Leftover Bratwurst Scramble as is or with a side of toast or fried potatoes.
