Best Easy Sausage and Egg Scramble Recipe

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the breakfast sausage. Cook for 5–7 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula until browned and fully cooked.

Drain excess fat if needed, then push the sausage to one side of the pan and reduce heat to low.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.

Add butter to the empty side of the pan, allow it to melt, then pour the egg mixture into that side.

Let eggs sit for 30 seconds, then gently stir the eggs and sausage together, folding until eggs are nearly set. Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the top, cover, and cook for another minute until the cheese is melted and eggs are fluffy. Serve immediately.
