Method

Prepare Sausage

  1. 1

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the breakfast sausage. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Prepare Eggs

  1. 2

    Whisk the Eggs

    In a bowl, crack the large eggs and add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined.

  2. 3

    Cook the Eggs

    In the same skillet used for the sausage, add the butter over medium heat. Once melted, pour in the egg mixture. Cook gently, stirring often, until the eggs are just set but still soft, about 3-5 minutes.

Combine and Serve

  1. 4

    Add Sausage and Cheese

    Once the eggs are cooked, add the cooked sausage back into the skillet. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top, and gently fold until the cheese melts.

  2. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    If using bread, toast the slices as desired. Spoon the sausage, egg, and cheese mixture onto the toasted bread (if using) or serve directly on plates.
