Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 2 links sausage
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Remove the sausage from its casing (if necessary) and crumble it into the skillet. Cook the sausage for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until browned and cooked through.
Add fresh spinach to the skillet with the sausage and stir. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted and combined with the sausage.
Push the sausage and spinach to the side of the skillet and add the butter to the cleared portion of the skillet. Allow the butter to melt.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and gently stir with a spatula. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are scrambled and just set, about 3-4 minutes. Make sure the egg mixture incorporates the sausage and spinach by the end of the cooking process.
Remove the skillet from the heat and check the seasoning. Adjust salt and pepper if necessary.
Serve immediately while the eggs are warm, along with toast or your favorite breakfast sides.
