Sausage & Thyme Scrambled Eggs
(4 servings)
- 8 large eggs
-
1 tablespoon coarse-grained mustard
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
-
3 tablespoons butter
-
4 ounces fully cooked sausage (suggestions: smoked turkey sausage- kielbasa- or chicken apple sausage) thinly sliced crosswise
-
3/4 cup chopped green onions
-
4 ounces Neufchâtel cheese (reduced-fat cream cheese) cut into small pieces
-
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (about 3 stems)
-
Fresh thyme sprigs (optional)
Whisk eggs, mustard, salt and pepper in large bowl to blend well.
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in 12-inch-diameter non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add sausage and stir until brown, about 3 minutes. Add green onions and thyme and stir 1 minute. Transfer mixture to bowl.
Add 2 tablespoons butter to same skillet; melt over medium heat. Add eggs and cheese; stir until eggs are softly set and cheese begins to melt, about 3 minutes. (See Mr Breakfast's article about making the perfect scrambled eggs!)
Add sausage mixture; stir until eggs are just set, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer to platter.
Garnish with thyme sprigs, if desired.
I know some people who don't like cream cheese with their eggs. I recommend trying coarsly chopped smoked mozzarella- the texture is perfect and it adds an amazing smokey taste!
Mr Breakfast would like to thank mrbreakfast_lvr for this recipe.
