Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 0.25 cup milk
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup cheddar cheese
• 4 links breakfast sausage
• 2 tablespoons butter

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a large bowl, add the milk, salt, and black pepper, and whisk together until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 2

Grate the cheddar cheese if not pre-shredded and set aside.

Step 3

Remove the sausage casings, if necessary, and crumble the sausage into small pieces.

Step 4

In a large non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat until melted.

Step 5

Add the crumbled sausage to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Step 6

Once the sausage is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set aside, leaving any rendered fat in the pan.

Step 7

Lower the heat to medium-low and add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Once melted, pour in the egg mixture.

Step 8

Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed until they just begin to set around the edges, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 9

Using a spatula, gently pull the eggs from the edges towards the center, allowing uncooked eggs to flow to the outer edges. Continue this process until the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny in places.

Step 10

Sprinkle the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs.

Step 11

Continue to cook, gently folding the eggs over the cheese and sausage to incorporate, until the cheese has melted and the eggs are fully cooked through but still soft, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 12

Serve immediately, garnished with additional black pepper if desired.
