Ingredients
For the Breakfast:
-
1 lb breakfast sausage (pork, turkey, or your choice)
-
6 large eggs
-
1/2 cup milk
-
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or any cheese of your choice)
-
1 tablespoon butter
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
-
1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional)
-
4 breakfast sandwich buns, English muffins, or tortillas (optional for serving)
Instructions
-
Cook the Sausage:
In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease, then set the sausage aside. -
Scramble the Eggs:
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika (if using). Heat a tablespoon of butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and gently stir with a spatula, allowing the eggs to cook slowly and evenly. Once the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency, remove from the heat. -
Assemble the Breakfast:
If you’re serving the breakfast with buns or tortillas, toast the buns or warm the tortillas in a separate skillet. Layer the sausage, scrambled eggs, and shredded cheese. If you prefer, you can melt the cheese by placing the assembled sandwich under the broiler for 1-2 minutes.
-
Serve:
Serve the Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast warm, either as a plate of scrambled eggs and sausage or as a delicious sandwich on toasted buns or wrapped in tortillas
Notes
-
You can add vegetables like spinach, peppers, or onions to the scrambled eggs for added flavor and nutrition.
-
This breakfast can easily be made ahead of time. Simply cook the sausage and eggs, then store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat and assemble as needed.
-
For a healthier option, you can use turkey sausage and reduce the amount of cheese.
