Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 2 medium potatoes
• 8 oz breakfast sausage
• 1 medium bell pepper
• 1 small onion
• 2 tbsp milk
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into small 1/2-inch cubes.

Step 2

Dice the bell pepper and onion, and finely mince the garlic.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the potatoes to the skillet, season with a pinch of salt, and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and crispy. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set them aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Crumble the breakfast sausage into the skillet and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage and set aside with the potatoes.

Step 6

Add the diced onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 7

Meanwhile, crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, add the milk, and whisk until well combined. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the eggs into the skillet with the vegetables. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 1 minute, then gently stir and scramble until the eggs are just set.

Step 9

Add the cooked potatoes and sausage back into the skillet and gently fold them into the scrambled eggs.

Step 10

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top and let it melt, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 11

Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Step 12

Serve hot directly from the skillet or divide onto plates. Enjoy your Breakfast Skillet Scramble!
