A hearty and satisfying Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast featuring savory cooked sausage, fluffy scrambled eggs, and melted cheddar cheese. Perfect for a quick, protein-rich start to your day, served open-faced or as a sandwich with buns, English muffins, or tortillas.
Ingredients
Scale
Sausage
- 1 lb breakfast sausage (pork, turkey, or your choice)
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional)
Other Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or any cheese of your choice)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 breakfast sandwich buns, English muffins, or tortillas (optional for serving)
Instructions
- Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease, then set the sausage aside.
- Scramble the Eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika (if using). Heat a tablespoon of butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and gently stir with a spatula, allowing the eggs to cook slowly and evenly. Once the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency, remove from the heat.
- Assemble the Breakfast: If you’re serving the breakfast with buns or tortillas, toast the buns or warm the tortillas in a separate skillet. Layer the sausage, scrambled eggs, and shredded cheese. If you prefer, you can melt the cheese by placing the assembled sandwich under the broiler for 1-2 minutes.
- Serve: Serve the Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast warm, either as a plate of scrambled eggs and sausage or as a delicious sandwich on toasted buns or wrapped in tortillas.
Notes
- Optional seasoning like garlic powder and paprika add extra flavor to the eggs.
- Choose your preferred type of breakfast sausage: pork, turkey, or vegetarian alternatives.
- Using whole milk yields creamier scrambled eggs but can be substituted with lower-fat milk if desired.
- For a low-carb option, skip the buns or tortillas and serve on a plate.
- Melt cheese under the broiler carefully to avoid burning.
