My Life in Meals

This is a great and easy scramble recipe to make on a lazy weekend morning! You can really make this with whatever ingredients you have in your fridge at the time. I just happened to have some fresh spinach and mushrooms that needed to be used, and always keep some spicy sausage on hand in the freezer. I noticed that the thyme really makes this dish, so if you have some on your spice rack do make sure to include it (you can also substitute it with oregano or Italian seasoning).

Ingredients:

• 4 eggs
• 2 spicy Italian sausage links
• 1 cup spinach, frozen or fresh
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tomato, diced
• 1 jalapeno, diced
• 1/4 cup onion, diced (red or white)
• 4-5 mushrooms, chopped
• 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• salt and pepper, to taste

Procedure:

1. Whisk together eggs, milk, veggies, chili powder, thyme and salt and pepper in a mixing bowl.
2. Remove the casing from the sausage, crumble with your hands, and saute in a pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil for about 5 minutes on high. Remove from pan and mix into the egg mixture.
   
3. In the same pan, heat the remainder of the olive oil and saute garlic for one minute. Add the egg mixture to the pan, and cook approximately 5 minutes on medium heat, scrambling the egg every minute or so.
4. Serve with whole wheat toast or english muffins and ENJOY!
