Step-by-step instructions
Heat the skillet: In a skillet, warm up the olive oil over medium heat.
Cook the sausage: Place the sausage patties in the skillet and cook them for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they’re golden brown. Once cooked, remove the patties and set aside.
Prepare the eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Cook the eggs: If the skillet needs it, add a touch more butter. Pour the egg mixture into the same skillet and gently stir over low heat. Cook until the eggs are fluffy and cooked to your liking.
Warm the biscuits: If you’re using store-bought biscuits, warm them according to package instructions while the eggs are cooking.
Slice the tomatoes: While everything is coming together, slice the tomatoes and sprinkle them with a bit of salt and pepper.
Plate and serve: Serve the scrambled eggs alongside the golden sausage patties, flaky biscuits, and fresh tomato slices for a complete meal.
Best ways to enjoy it
To truly savor this sausage and egg breakfast, plate it with a side of your favorite hot sauce for a spicy kick or drizzle a bit of honey over the biscuits for a touch of sweetness. Pair it with a refreshing glass of orange juice or a steaming cup of coffee to elevate the experience. Consider adding a side of crispy hash browns or fresh fruit for extra flair and nutrition.
Storage and reheating tips
If you find yourself with leftovers (though I doubt it!), you can store the components separately for optimal freshness. Keep the sausage, eggs, and tomatoes in airtight containers in the fridge for up to three days. When reheating, make sure to do so gently in the microwave or on the stovetop to avoid overcooking the eggs. For longer storage, the sausage patties can be frozen for up to a month. Just allow them to cool completely before wrapping and freezing.
Helpful cooking tips
- For extra fluffiness, beat the eggs vigorously before cooking to incorporate more air.
- If you prefer a richer flavor, feel free to toss in some shredded cheese when you cook the eggs.
- Cooking the sausages in the same skillet as the eggs can add a lovely flavor to your scrambled eggs.
- Always keep an eye on the heat; cooking too fast can lead to rubbery eggs.
Creative twists
Want to switch things up? Try adding sautéed veggies like bell peppers and onions to your egg mixture for added flavor and nutrition. You could also switch out the tomatoes for avocado slices or fresh spinach. For a family-style breakfast, consider presenting the eggs in a skillet or casserole dish, and let everyone help themselves.
