EGG SCRAMBLE WITH VEGGIES, SAUSAGE & CHEESE

This is a pretty typical meal for a lazy Saturday morning and very easy to fix. I have also added mushrooms, substituted bacon or ground sausage for the rope sausage, or added fresh basil. Salt & pepper to taste, as always, and sometimes thyme. For a little more savory scramble add salsa & fiesta chili powder. I am not a fan of peppers, but if you like them, you can add red and green for some additional color.

INGREDIENTS:
(Serves 2)
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 2 oz. (about 2") of rope sausage, coursely chopped
  • 1 green onion, coursely chopped
  • 1 cup Italian (flat) parsley, coursely chopped
  • 1/2 cup diced raw tomato
  • 2 cups grated cheddar cheese
  • Salt & pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS:
  • Beat eggs and cream together until foamy
  • Melt butter in medium frying pan over medium high heat
  • Add sausage and cook until brown
  • Add egg mixture - stir and cook until almost done
  • Add parsley and onions and mix well
  • Add tomatoes and cook for another minute - remove from heat
  • Sprinkle cheese on top and let sit until cheese is melted (1-2 minutes) 
  • Serve with a sprig of parsley for garnish
