HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

02

Add 1 pound of breakfast sausage to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

03

Stir in 1/2 cup of chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

04

In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/4 cup of milk, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper until well combined.

05

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage and onion in the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggs begin to set but are still slightly wet.

06

Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the eggs.

07

Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the onions. Serve immediately with a side of toast or fruit.

Easy Substitutions

You can substitute turkey sausage for breakfast sausage. Any shredded cheese like Monterey Jack or a Mexican blend works well instead of cheddar. For a vegetarian option, omit the sausage and add diced bell peppers and spinach.
