Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 8 oz uncooked pork sausage (no added sugar or fillers)
• 1 medium bell pepper (any color, diced)
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 small onion (diced)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Season with salt and black pepper, and whisk until well combined. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the pork sausage to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Cook until the sausage is browned and fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes.

Step 5

Add the diced bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for another 2 minutes until they start to soften.

Step 6

Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

Transfer the sausage and vegetable mixture to a plate and cover to keep warm.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet.

Step 9

Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Let them sit undisturbed for 30 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula.

Step 10

Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are scrambled to your desired level of doneness, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 11

Add the sausage and vegetable mixture back into the skillet with the eggs. Gently fold everything together until well mixed.

Step 12

Serve immediately, garnished with additional black pepper if desired.
