Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons whole milk
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 large russet potato
• 8 ounces breakfast sausage
• 1 small yellow onion
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 cup cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 stalks green onions

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the russet potato into small 1/2-inch cubes.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced potato and cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Step 3

While the potatoes cook, dice the yellow onion and red bell pepper. Slice the green onions and set aside for garnish.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the breakfast sausage and break it into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5-6 minutes until browned and cooked through.

Step 5

Add the diced yellow onion and red bell pepper to the skillet with the sausage. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables soften.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

Step 7

Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it evenly. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes, then gently stir and fold the eggs as they begin to set.

Step 8

Once the eggs are almost fully cooked, add the cooked potatoes back into the skillet and stir to combine.

Step 9

Sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the top and cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy your hearty Country Breakfast Scramble!
