Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs
  • 100 g turkey sausage, crumbled
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese 60 g
  • 1 cup fresh spinach 30 g
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Prep Ingredients: Crack eggs into a bowl, add salt and pepper, and whisk well.
  2. Cook Sausage: Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat (~160°C). Add turkey sausage and cook for 4-5 minutes until browned.
  3. Add Veggies: Add spinach to the pan and stir until wilted, about 1 minute.
  4. Scramble Eggs: Pour in the eggs and let them set for a few seconds. Then stir gently to scramble.
  5. Add Cheese: When eggs are nearly cooked, sprinkle in cheese and stir until melted.
  6. Serve: Remove from heat, let rest for 2 minutes, top with chopped green onions if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, skip the cheese or use dairy-free cheese.
  • You can replace turkey sausage with chicken sausage or tofu crumbles for variation.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge.
