Savory Eggs and Sausage Skillet

Ingredients

Sausage links

4-6, depending on size

Unsalted butter

2 tablespoons

Eggs

4 large

Salt

to taste

Black pepper

to taste

Chives

2 tablespoons, chopped

Hot sauce (optional)

for serving

Whole grain toast (optional)

for serving

Instructions

1. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage links and cook until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
2. Once cooked, remove the sausage from the skillet and place them on a plate. Allow them to cool slightly before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
3. In the same skillet, add the unsalted butter and melt over medium heat until foamy, which will infuse a rich flavor into your eggs.
4. Crack the eggs directly into the skillet. Cook to your preference—sunny-side up, over-easy, or scrambled. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, transfer them to a plate. Arrange the sliced sausage pieces on top of the eggs.
6. Garnish generously with chopped chives for a burst of freshness.
7. Serve immediately while hot, along with toast or fresh fruit for a balanced meal. Add hot sauce for an extra kick!
