Here’s a tasty and simple recipe for scrambled eggs with sausage and green peppers — perfect for breakfast or a quick meal! 🌱🥚🌭
🥘 Scrambled Eggs with Sausage and Green Peppers
Servings: 2
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 breakfast sausages (or any sausage you like), sliced or crumbled
- 1 small green bell pepper, diced
- 1 small onion, diced (optional)
- 1–2 tbsp milk or cream (optional, for fluffier eggs)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp butter or oil
- Optional toppings: shredded cheese, hot sauce, fresh herbs
Instructions
- Cook the sausage:
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside if you want to cook the eggs separately. - Cook the vegetables:
In the same skillet, add butter or oil. Sauté the green pepper (and onion, if using) for 3–4 minutes until softened. - Prepare the eggs:
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (if using), salt, and pepper until combined. - Combine and scramble:
Add the sausage back to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the eggs. Let sit for a few seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges to the center until just set but still slightly creamy. Remove from heat immediately — eggs continue cooking off the heat. - Serve:
Plate the scrambled eggs, optionally top with cheese, herbs, or a dash of hot sauce.
🌟 Tips
- For extra flavor, use spicy sausage or add paprika or chili flakes.
- You can also toss in mushrooms, tomatoes, or spinach for a veggie boost.
- Cooking on medium-low heat helps keep the eggs soft and creamy instead of rubbery.
If you want, I can also give a one-pan version where everything cooks together for even faster prep and cleanup. Do you want me to do that?
