Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces ground breakfast sausage
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 bell pepper (diced, any color)
- 1 small yellow onion (diced)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons green onions (sliced, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground breakfast sausage and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small crumbles with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer the cooked sausage to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced bell pepper and onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
While the vegetables are cooking, crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined and the mixture is slightly frothy.
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Cook gently, stirring frequently with a spatula, until the eggs are soft and scrambled, about 3-5 minutes.
Once the eggs are almost set, stir in the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese. Continue cooking until the cheese is melted and everything is evenly combined, about 1-2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the sausage scramble with sliced green onions before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
