Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 eggs, beaten w/ splash of milk & pinch of nutmeg
3 potatoes (I used 2 red & one white), cut in bite-sized chunks
1/2 white onion, diced
1/2 red pepper and yellow pepper (sweet kind), diced
1-2 cooked links of sausage (I used leftover spicy smoked sausage) cut in bite sized pieces
1/2 lb cheese, shredded (sharp cheddar is what I used)
paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, seasoned salt, parsley, scallions (all optional, but what I used); to taste
1/2 tomato, diced

Steps:

1. Beat the eggs, as mentioned. Set aside.
2. Meanwhile, get an electric skillet (or very large pan) heating with about 1 Tbsp butter & 1 Tbsp canola oil. Medium heat.
3. Add the potatoes & sprinkle with some salt. Cook for a couple minutes, tossing around lightly.
4. Then add the onions & peppers & spices. I used paprika, garlic, seasoned salt, some parsley, & black pepper. Cook until the potatoes & veggies are tender (about 5-10 mins, depending on potato size).
5. Add the tomato & sausage pieces (remember mine were pre-cooked) & toss around to get it all cooked through.
6. Then, push the potato mixture into a square shape, making a well in the opening. (See picture)
7. Melt about a tablespoon of butter into the open area. Pour the beaten eggs into the opening & let them cook about 1 min, then begin stirring them with a rubber or wooden spatula/spoon. Add some salt & pepper to the eggs.
8. Once they start getting white & firming up just a bit, add the cheese. Once that starts to melt, just stir everything together. It will look like a mash-up of yumminess.
9. I sprinkled with some more black pepper & scallions on top. Dig in! Serve with toast or muffins & some fresh fruit.
