Ingredients

• 8 ounces breakfast sausage
• 6 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the breakfast sausage to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until fully browned and cooked through. Remove the sausage from the skillet with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess grease.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and the yolks and whites are fully combined.

Step 4

Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel, then place it back on medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt, swirling to coat the bottom of the skillet.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds, until it just begins to set.

Step 6

Using a spatula, gently stir and scramble the eggs, folding them over themselves to create soft curds. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are almost fully cooked but still slightly moist.

Step 7

Add the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the sausage cheese scramble to plates or a serving bowl.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
