Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces breakfast sausage
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the breakfast sausage to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until fully browned and cooked through. Remove the sausage from the skillet with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess grease.
In a medium mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and the yolks and whites are fully combined.
Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel, then place it back on medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt, swirling to coat the bottom of the skillet.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds, until it just begins to set.
Using a spatula, gently stir and scramble the eggs, folding them over themselves to create soft curds. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are almost fully cooked but still slightly moist.
Add the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked.
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the sausage cheese scramble to plates or a serving bowl.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
