Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 ounces breakfast sausage
- 1 medium (diced) red bell pepper
- 1 small (diced) yellow onion
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 0.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 3
Add the breakfast sausage to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced red bell pepper and onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes or until softened.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the baby spinach to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring, until wilted.
Step 6
Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables.
Step 7
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, stirring gently to coat the sausage and veggies evenly.
Step 8
Cook the scramble over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally with a spatula, until the eggs are just set, about 4-5 minutes.
Step 9
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top and allow it to melt, about 1 minute.
Step 10
Remove from heat and serve immediately. Enjoy your hearty breakfast scramble!
