Ingredients

• 8 ounces ground breakfast sausage
• 6 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 bell pepper (diced, any color)
• 1 small yellow onion (diced)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 tablespoons green onions (sliced, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground breakfast sausage and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small crumbles with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer the cooked sausage to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.

Step 2

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced bell pepper and onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

While the vegetables are cooking, crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined and the mixture is slightly frothy.

Step 4

Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Cook gently, stirring frequently with a spatula, until the eggs are soft and scrambled, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 5

Once the eggs are almost set, stir in the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese. Continue cooking until the cheese is melted and everything is evenly combined, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the sausage scramble with sliced green onions before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
