Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 8 pieces breakfast sausage links
• 2 medium apple (such as Honeycrisp or Gala)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the apple slices and sprinkle with ground cinnamon.

Step 3

Cook the apples for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and slightly caramelized. Drizzle with maple syrup and transfer to a bowl. Set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the olive oil and heat it over medium heat. Add the breakfast sausage links and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they’re browned and cooked through. Transfer the sausages to a plate and keep warm.

Step 5

Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Step 6

In a clean skillet, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter over medium-low heat. Pour in the whisked eggs and let them cook gently, stirring occasionally with a spatula, until they’re softly scrambled and cooked to your preference.

Step 7

To assemble, divide the scrambled eggs, sausages, and caramelized apples evenly among four plates. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
