Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 links breakfast sausage
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Remove the sausage links from their casings and crumble the meat into small, bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the sausage. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the cooked sausage from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk, salt, and black pepper until combined and slightly frothy.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and add the butter to the same skillet. Let it melt and coat the bottom of the skillet.
Step 5
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet and let them sit undisturbed for 20-30 seconds until the edges start to set.
Step 6
Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center, forming soft curds. Repeat this process until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny.
Step 7
Sprinkle the cooked sausage and fresh thyme over the eggs, then fold them gently to combine.
Step 8
Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the eggs reach your desired doneness. Remove from heat immediately to prevent overcooking.
Step 9
Serve hot and garnish with additional thyme if desired. Pair with toast or fresh fruit for a complete meal.
