Ingredients

• 4 pieces Veggie sausage links
• 4 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Bell pepper (diced)
• 0.25 cup Red onion (diced)
• 1 cup Baby spinach (chopped)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded, optional)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped, optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the veggie sausage links to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and heated through. Remove the sausages from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced bell pepper and red onion, and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.

Step 4

Stir in the chopped baby spinach and cook for an additional minute, just until wilted. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 6

Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for 30 seconds, then gently stir and scramble until just set, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Return the sautéed vegetables to the skillet and fold them into the scrambled eggs. If desired, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the mixture and allow it to melt slightly.

Step 8

Serve the scrambled eggs alongside the cooked veggie sausages. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and enjoy!
