Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 4 vegetarian sausage links
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chives
Instructions
Start by slicing the vegetarian sausage links into small rounds, about 1/4 inch thick. Set aside.
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and add the whole milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined and the mixture is slightly frothy.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the sliced vegetarian sausage.
Cook the sausage, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until they are heated through and slightly browned. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter. Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbling, pour in the egg mixture.
Allow the eggs to sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula or a wooden spoon, pushing the eggs from the edges toward the center of the skillet.
Continue to gently stir and cook the eggs, keeping them soft and creamy, for about 3-5 minutes or until they are cooked to your preference.
Once the eggs are almost set, fold in the cooked vegetarian sausage until evenly distributed.
Remove the skillet from the heat, and sprinkle the chopped chives over the eggs and sausage.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional chives if desired, and enjoy your delicious vegetarian scrambled eggs with sausage.
