Sausage and Egg Skillet Scramble

What do you do with three leftover new potatoes, an 1/8 of a pound of sausage, a block of cheddar cheese, a sliver of an onion, and some fresh market eggs?  Throw it all into a skillet and scramble it up, of course.  This is one of my favorite breakfasts.  Depending on the leftovers, the ingredients vary, but this version is about as good as it gets. 

Cooks note: Feel free to get a little wild and ignore the exact amounts of the ingredients.  The fun of this is that it's different every time.

 

Sausage and Egg Skillet Scramble

Total Cooking Time: 20 minutes                                                                                                           prep time: 5 minutes, cook time 15 minutes

Ingredients:

1. 1 TBS oil
2. 1/4 cup chopped onion
3. 2-3 small new potatoes, diced into very small pieces
4. 1/4 lb. sausage (or meat of your choice)
5. a few sprinkles of steak seasoning or garlic salt
6. (optional) 1/2 tomato, diced
7. 3 large eggs
8. shredded cheese (I used cheddar)
9. (optional) fresh chives

Directions:

Begin by sprinkling seasoning on the onion and potatoes (I use a combination of garlic salt and steak seasoning, but garlic salt and paprika would also be great.) Saute the onion and potatoes in the oil.  Saute for about five- seven minutes, until the potatoes start to brown a little bit.   Add sausage and cook for a few more minutes, until sausage is browned.  Add diced tomatoes and saute for one more minute.

Here comes the fun part!  Spoon the mixture into the shape of bike spokes.  Then, crack the eggs so that they fall in between the mixture.  Allow this to cook for about two minutes.

Add the cheese and chives (optional).  Get ready, get set, scramble!  Scramble until eggs are completely cooked.  Serve immediately. 

Warning: the finished product will not look pretty, but the taste will be well worth it.
