Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil or vegetable oil, 1 turn of the pan
- 1 pound bulk breakfast sausage, such as maple sausage
- 8 large eggs
- A splash half-and-half or whole milk
- A few drops hot sauce
- Salt and pepper
- 6 ounces (1/3 pound) Cheddar, diced
- 1 plum tomato, seeded and diced
Instructions
- Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil or vegetable oil, 1 turn of the pan, add sausage and brown and crumble the meat, 5 or 6 minutes. Remove the sausage from the pan and drain off some of the fat. Return pan to heat and reduce the temperature to medium low.
- Whisk together the eggs, half-and-half or milk, hot sauce, salt and pepper. Scramble the eggs until soft, then add cheese and continue to scramble another minute or so to finish cooking eggs and to begin to melt the cheese bits. Remove pan from heat and combine sausage and eggs. Garnish servings of the eggs with a few pieces of diced fresh tomato. Serve plates of sausage scrambles with pancakes, or for a simple supper, serve with toasted whole grain bread, buttered and drizzled with honey.

this was really easy to make for a brunch. best part is, you can make it stretch to feed tons of guests.
This is the best scrambled eggs my husband and I have EVER eaten!! We make it for guests and family for breakfast when they stay the night, and we get nothing but raves about it.
I’ve made this many times and it’s always a crowd pleaser!
They were delishous and easy to make thanks to Rachel Ray!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent easy breakfast…leftovers taste great also. I used 10 eggs instead of 8.
