Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 8 ounces breakfast sausage
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk, salt, and black pepper until smooth and fully combined. Set aside.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the breakfast sausage and cook, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon, until fully cooked and browned, about 5-6 minutes. Transfer the cooked sausage to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess grease.
Wipe out the skillet and return it to medium-low heat. Add the butter and let it melt, spreading it around the pan to coat the surface evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Allow the eggs to sit untouched for 20-30 seconds, then use a spatula to gently pull the eggs from the edges of the pan towards the center, forming soft curds. Repeat this process until the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny.
Add the cooked sausage back to the pan and fold it gently into the eggs.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs and sausage. Let the mixture sit for about 30 seconds until the cheese begins to melt. Fold the mixture gently to combine.
Remove the skillet from the heat. If desired, garnish with chopped green onions for a fresh pop of color and flavor.
Serve hot immediately and enjoy your Sausage Scrambles and Cheese!
