Sausage
- 1/2 lb ground pork or breakfast sausage (seasoned or plain)
Eggs
Cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar or American cheese
Cooking Fat
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil
Seasoning
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Cook the Sausage: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed and push the sausage to one side of the pan.
- Scramble the Eggs: In the same skillet, add a small pat of butter or a drizzle of oil to the cleared side. Crack the eggs directly into the pan, season with salt and pepper, and stir gently to scramble. Cook until soft but fully set.
- Combine and Add Cheese: Mix the cooked sausage and scrambled eggs evenly. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the mixture and cover the pan for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese until gooey.
- Serve Warm: Remove the skillet from heat and serve immediately on its own or between toasted bread or a warm English muffin.
Notes
- Use fresh eggs and high-quality sausage for the best flavor and texture.
- Don’t overcook eggs; soft scrambled eggs have a creamier texture.
- Add cheese at the end and cover the pan to ensure even melting.
- Drain excess sausage fat to avoid a greasy dish.
- Serve immediately or keep covered on very low heat to maintain freshness and melty cheese.
