Start the day with a hearty Breakfast Skillet of cheesy scrambled eggs, roasted vegetables, and fried sausage.
I’ve gotten into the habit of eating eggs for breakfast most mornings but get tired of eating them the same way. My new favorite way to eat scrambled eggs is to make a breakfast skillet.
My breakfast skillets started out with a scrambled combination of eggs, cheese, and sausage (or sometimes bacon instead).
One morning I noticed some leftover oven roasted vegetables and decided to add them to the breakfast scramble and I was hooked!
The cheesy, flavorful combination, packed with protein is a great way to start the day.
