Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 4 links chicken sausage
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 0.25 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl. Add milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined and slightly frothy.
Step 2
Heat half of the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken sausage links and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are fully cooked through and browned on all sides.
Step 3
Once cooked, remove the sausages from the skillet and slice them into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Add the baby spinach and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
Step 5
Pour the egg mixture over the spinach in the skillet. Use a spatula to gently stir the eggs, scraping the sides and bottom of the pan as the eggs begin to set.
Step 6
When the eggs are about half set, add the sliced sausage back into the skillet. Continue to cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are fully cooked but still creamy.
Step 7
Optional: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top of the eggs just before serving.
Step 8
Serve hot, and enjoy your high protein scrambled eggs with spinach and sausage!
