Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 plant-based sausage links
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Heat half the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the plant-based sausage links and cook according to package directions until browned and heated through. Remove from the skillet and slice into bite-sized pieces.
Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet. Add the fresh spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove the spinach from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the skillet heat to medium. Pour the egg mixture into the same skillet. Allow the eggs to sit without stirring for about 30 seconds to start setting around the edges.
Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center, letting any uncooked egg flow to the edges. Continue this process slowly until the eggs are almost set but still slightly runny.
Add the cooked spinach, sliced sausage, and shredded cheese to the eggs. Gently fold the ingredients into the eggs until just combined and the cheese is starting to melt.
Remove from heat when the eggs are just set and creamy. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired.
Serve warm, garnished with extra cheese or chopped herbs if desired.
