Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 20 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup cooked sausage, crumbled
- 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced
- 1/4 cup onion, diced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by dicing bell peppers and onions into small, uniform pieces. Ensure sausage is pre-cooked and crumbled.
- Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and bell peppers, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until they become soft and slightly translucent.
- Add pre-cooked crumbled sausage to the skillet, stirring to combine with vegetables and warm through for 2 minutes.
- Crack eggs into a separate bowl, whisking them together with salt and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Pour whisked eggs directly into the skillet with sausage and vegetables, reducing heat to low-medium.
- Gently stir and fold eggs continuously using a spatula, allowing them to scramble slowly and evenly incorporate with other ingredients.
- Cook for approximately 3-4 minutes, or until eggs are fully set but still appear moist and creamy.
- Remove skillet from heat and let the scramble rest for 1 minute before serving to allow residual heat to finish cooking.
- Transfer scramble to serving plates, garnishing with additional black pepper if desired. Serve immediately while hot.
Tips
- Use pre-cooked sausage to dramatically cut down on preparation time and ensure food safety.
- Dice your vegetables into uniform, small pieces to ensure even cooking and consistent flavor in every bite.
- Always whisk eggs in a separate bowl before adding to the skillet - this helps create a smoother, more consistent scramble.
- Use a non-stick skillet and keep the heat at low-medium to prevent eggs from becoming tough or overcooked.
- For extra flavor, consider using spicy sausage or adding a sprinkle of shredded cheese during the last minute of cooking.
- If you prefer softer eggs, reduce cooking time slightly and remove from heat when they still look slightly wet.
- Let the scramble rest for a minute after cooking to allow residual heat to finish the cooking process without overcooking.
