Egg Smashed & Cheese Sausage Recipe

Beat the Eggs

In a mixing bowl, crack the 4 large eggs. Add the salt and black pepper. Whisk together until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.

Cook the Eggs

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and cook, stirring gently with a spatula, until the eggs are just set but still creamy, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Cook the Sausage

In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the breakfast sausage and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Add Cheese

Once the sausage is fully cooked, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the sausage. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it sit for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Mix Eggs with Sausage

Add the cooked scrambled eggs to the skillet with the sausage and melted cheese. Gently fold everything together until well combined.

Garnish and Serve

Serve the egg and sausage mixture hot, garnished with fresh chopped chives and a drizzle of hot sauce to taste.
