Loaded egg scramble

10-23-14

Loaded egg scramble, this is a family favorite!

8 eggs, I use 1-2 per person (adjust as needed)
link or roll sausage, for this batch I used links
bacon*
1 large potato, diced
onion, diced (I have also used green onion)
green pepper, diced
mushrooms, sliced
bok choi, sliced (just happened to have it so threw it in)
feel free to add or omit any veggie to fit your taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter or margarine (if desire for eggs)
2 tablespoons of cold milk
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup shredded cheese, any flavor you like

*My bacon tip:
I cut packages of bacon into thirds and freeze them. When I need them for cooking, they cook quickly and easily in small fry pan and don't need to worry about long strips, the whole third fits in pan at once! When done, drain and pat dry then add to recipe. If prefer to crumble, put in paper towel and crumble away! One third is equal to about 6-8 slices.

Bok choi, Backyard Produce rocks!

In large skillet, heat olive oil on medium and add in potato. Cook about ten minutes, stirring often until potato starts to brown. Add onions, peppers and any other veggies and cook until tender (depending on veggies 5-7 minutes).

In smaller skillet, cook sausage, if roll, scramble it. If links, cook then slice to desired size, I usually halve or third them.
Drain and pat dry and add to veggie mix.

After cook sausage, drain grease and use same pan for the bacon. Once bacon is desired level of crispy, drain and pat dry. Add to veggie mix.

Break eggs into large bowl and whisk with cold milk. Add salt and pepper to taste. Depending on your preference, can scramble eggs in bacon grease or use a fresh pan with butter or margarine. Once eggs are scrambled to your liking add them to veggies/meat mix and stir well. Top with shredded cheese and stir to melt. I have found that colby jack mix or sharp cheddar are good ones! 

Serves 4 at my house!
