Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 4 low-sodium sausage links
- 0.5 cup low-sodium cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup low-fat milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and add the low-fat milk. Whisk together until well combined, and set aside.
Step 2
Slice the low-sodium sausage links into thin rounds.
Step 3
In a medium non-stick skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the sliced sausage to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, or until they are lightly browned and cooked through. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
Step 5
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Stir gently with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges into the center as they begin to set.
Step 6
Once the eggs are mostly cooked, but still slightly runny, sprinkle the low-sodium cheddar cheese over the eggs.
Step 7
Return the cooked sausage to the skillet, distributing evenly across the eggs.
Step 8
Continue to gently fold the eggs and cheese until fully cooked through but still soft and creamy.
Step 9
Season with black pepper, to taste.
Step 10
Garnish with chopped chives before serving hot.
