  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 20 minutes
  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 sausages, casings removed
  • 2 cups diced potatoes (such as russet or red potatoes)
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup diced red peppers
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 6 large eggs
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add diced potatoes. Cook for about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and turn golden.
  3. Add sliced mushrooms and diced red peppers to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
  4. Crumble the cooked sausage and return it to the skillet with the vegetables.
  5. In a bowl, beat the eggs with salt and black pepper. Pour the eggs over the sausage and vegetable mixture. Let them set for a few seconds, then gently scramble with a spatula until the eggs are cooked to your preference.
  6. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the scramble. Cover the skillet for a minute to allow the cheese to melt.
  7. Serve the scramble hot, topped with freshly chopped parsley.

Notes

Feel free to customize the scramble by adding your favorite veggies, such as spinach, diced tomatoes, onions, or really whatever you have on hand. A dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of hot sauce right before serving can add an extra layer of flavor if desired. Serve the scramble with toasted whole-grain bread or tortillas for an awesome breakfast-style wrap. Enjoy!
