Equipment

  • large skillet
  • silicone spoon / spoonula
  • large bowl with a pourable spout

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
  • 1 tablespoon dry minced onion
  • 8 eggs
  • 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • salt & pepper

Instructions
 

  • Bring the eggs to room temperature while prepping and starting the sausage.
    ** shred the cheese if not preshredded
  • In a large skillet crumble the sausage and distribute it evenly. Turn the stove to medium and cook for 5-8 minutes while frequently stirring with a silicone spoon/spoonula.
  • Once the sausage pieces are starting to brown, add the dry minced onion. Stir and cook for an additional minute.
  • In a large bowl with a pourable spout, crack the eggs into the bowl one at a time. Whisk vigorously until well combined and there are no visible white or yolk streaks.
    Turn the stove down to low, do not drain the fat or drippings. Slowly pour the scrambled eggs into the pan.
  • Stir the raw eggs along with the breakfast sausage so they are evenly distributed in the pan. Cook over low heat for 3-4 minutes while stirring occasionally.
  • Turn the stove off. Sprinkle on the cheese and fold it in to melt.
    Add black pepper and taste test. If needed, add salt.
  • Spoon onto individual plates. Add more cheese if desired - or any of the fun topping ideas in the notes. Enjoy immediately while fresh and warm.
