Equipment

  • large skillet
  • spatula
  • plate

Ingredients
  

  • 2 breakfast sausage patties or links
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp butter or olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the sausage for 4–5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through.
  • Transfer sausage to a plate and keep warm. Leave a little fat in the skillet.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low, add butter or oil, and crack eggs into the skillet or add whisked eggs for scrambling.
  • Cook eggs to desired doneness: fried, over-easy, or scrambled, adjusting time as needed.
  • Season eggs lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Plate sausage and eggs with optional sides and serve immediately.

Notes

Cook the sausage first and keep warm while preparing the eggs for best timing. Use medium to low heat for eggs to prevent overcooking. Customize with your favorite egg style and sides like toast or hash browns.
