Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 links breakfast sausage
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Remove the sausage links from their casings and crumble the meat into small, bite-sized pieces.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the sausage. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the cooked sausage from the skillet and set aside.
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk, salt, and black pepper until combined and slightly frothy.
Reduce the heat to low and add the butter to the same skillet. Let it melt and coat the bottom of the skillet.
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet and let them sit undisturbed for 20-30 seconds until the edges start to set.
Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center, forming soft curds. Repeat this process until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny.
Sprinkle the cooked sausage and fresh thyme over the eggs, then fold them gently to combine.
Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the eggs reach your desired doneness. Remove from heat immediately to prevent overcooking.
Serve hot and garnish with additional thyme if desired. Pair with toast or fresh fruit for a complete meal.
