Ingredients
- 2 links leftover bratwurst
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 medium (diced) onion
- 1 medium (diced, any color) bell pepper
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (or to taste) black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional for garnish) fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Slice the leftover bratwurst into thin rounds or bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper and set aside.
Step 3
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté the vegetables for 3-4 minutes, or until they’re softened and slightly golden.
Step 4
Add the sliced bratwurst to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pieces are heated through and lightly browned.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture over the bratwurst and veggies. Let the eggs sit for about 30 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula to create soft curds.
Step 6
Continue to cook the eggs, stirring occasionally, until they are fully cooked but still tender, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 7
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the scramble and gently fold it in until melted and evenly distributed.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the scramble with fresh parsley, if using.
Step 9
Serve hot and enjoy your Leftover Bratwurst Scramble as is or with a side of toast or fried potatoes.
