Ingredients
- 10-12 maple breakfast sausage links chopped (like Maple Leaf, ≈400g)
- 2 tbsp olive oil divided
- ½ medium red onion thinly sliced
- 2 cups cremini mushrooms sliced
- ½ large green bell pepper chopped
- 8 large eggs
- ¼ cup half and half cream
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes optional
- Salt & black pepper to taste
- ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar optional topping
Instructions
- Brown the Sausage Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large non stick pan over medium heat. Add chopped sausage links. Sauté 3-5 minutes until deeply browned, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a plate using a slotted spoon.
- Sauté Vegetables Add remaining 1 tbsp oil to the pan. Add sliced red onion and mushrooms. Cook 4-5 minutes until onions soften and mushrooms release their liquid. Stir in chopped bell pepper; cook 2 minutes more until crisp tender.
- Combine Ingredients Return cooked sausage to the pan. Gently mix all components until evenly distributed across the skillet surface. Reduce the heat to medium low.
- Prepare Egg Mixture In a bowl, whisk eggs, half and half, red pepper flakes (if using), ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp black pepper until fully blended and slightly frothy.
- Cook the Eggs Pour egg mixture evenly over the sausage vegetable base. Do not stir. Allow it to cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until edges set and bottom turns golden.
- Flip & Finish Slide a wide spatula under sections of the egg mixture. Gently flip in large portions breaking is fine. Cook 1-2 more minutes until no liquid remains. If using cheese, sprinkle evenly, cover the pan and remove from the heat. Let it sit for 1 minute to melt.
