Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 4 pieces breakfast sausage links
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon cooking oil
- 1 tablespoon chives (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of cooking oil.
Step 2
Add the breakfast sausage links to the skillet. Cook for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until fully browned and cooked through. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Step 3
Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel and reduce the heat to medium-low.
Step 4
Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet and let it melt. Gently crack the eggs into a bowl, then carefully add them to the skillet one at a time to keep the yolks intact.
Step 5
Sprinkle the eggs with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Cook for 3–4 minutes for sunny-side-up eggs, or flip them and cook for an additional minute for over-easy eggs.
Step 6
Remove the eggs from the skillet and plate alongside the sausages.
Step 7
Optional: Garnish with chopped chives for added flavor and visual appeal.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your hot, delicious breakfast!
