Ingredients (Serves 2):
- 4 Eggs
- 2 Sausage Links (or about 1/3 cup crumbled sausage) – pick your favorite from above!
- 2 tbsp Oil or Butter (for frying)
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- Optional additions:
- Chopped onion or bell peppers for extra flavor
- Shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, etc.)
- Fresh herbs (parsley, chives, or basil)
Preparation:
-
Cook the Sausage: Warm a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil or butter. If using links, slice them into rounds or small chunks before adding to the pan. Cook until browned and fully heated through, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer the cooked sausage to a plate and set aside.
-
Beat the Eggs: In a small bowl, whisk the eggs together with a pinch of salt and pepper (plus any additional seasonings you like).
-
Sauté Optional Veggies (if using): In the same skillet, you can sauté chopped onion, bell peppers, or any other preferred veggies for 2-3 minutes. This step is optional but adds more flavor.
-
Cook the Omelet: Add another tablespoon of oil or butter to the skillet if needed. Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in the beaten eggs. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about a minute.
-
Add Sausage & Fillings: Once the bottom of the omelet starts to set, evenly distribute the cooked sausage (and any sautéed veggies or cheese) over the eggs. Cook for another minute or two until the omelet is mostly set. If you prefer a “folded” style omelet, use a spatula to gently fold one side over the fillings.
-
Finish & Serve: Continue cooking until the eggs reach your preferred doneness (slightly runny or fully set). Slide the omelet onto a plate. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy while hot!
Pro Tip: For a fluffier omelet, add a splash of milk or cream to the eggs before whisking. Feeling adventurous? Add a dash of hot sauce or some diced jalapeños for an extra kick.
This Fried Egg Omelet with Sausage is the ultimate go-to for a satisfying, quick-fix meal. Serve it with toast, fresh fruit, or even a simple side salad to kickstart your day with a hearty dose of protein and flavor!
