Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large iron skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Green Chiles

    Stir in the green chiles and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

  3. 3

    Scramble the Eggs

    In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and black pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and green chiles in the skillet. Gently stir the mixture, cooking until the eggs are just set, about 3-5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the mixed cheeses over the top of the eggs and cover the skillet with a lid. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the skillet from heat. If desired, sprinkle with fresh cilantro before serving. Serve hot directly from the skillet.
