Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 2 links vegetarian sausage
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
Instructions
Begin by slicing the vegetarian sausage links into small, bite-sized pieces.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add sliced sausage pieces and cook for about 5 minutes, or until browned. Remove 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.
Reduce the skillet to low-medium heat and add the remaining tablespoon of butter. Once the butter has melted, pour in the egg mixture.
Allow the eggs to cook gently. As they start to set, use a spatula to slowly drag the eggs from the edges to the center, forming large curds.
When the eggs are about halfway cooked and still slightly runny, sprinkle the cheddar cheese and cooked sausage pieces over the top.
Continue to gently fold the eggs until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked but still soft.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the scrambled eggs with chopped chives.
Serve immediately while hot, perhaps with toast or a side salad.
