Italian Scramble (4 servings, I doubled most of the ingredients)

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 Tbsp. olive oil (I used 2)
• 1 medium potato, peeled and cubed (I used a large potato)
• 1/2 lb. sweet italian sausage links (I used 1 lb.)
• 1 small onion, chopped (I didn’t double this)
• 1 small green pepper, chopped (I used half a large pepper
• 1 small red pepper, chopped (I used half a large pepper
• 8 eggs (I used 12)
• 2 Tbsp. milk (I used 3)
• 1/8 tsp. oregano (I used 1/4 tsp.)
• 1 14.5 ounce can petite diced tomatoes, drained (I didn’t double this)
• 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella (I used 1/2 cup)
• 1/4 cup grated fresh parmesan cheese (I used 1/2 cup)

DIRECTIONS:

• Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the potato cubes in a single layer and let them cook without stirring for a few minutes until they begin to firm up. Use a pancake turner to carefully flip the potatoes over and continue cooking. Remove the sausage from the casings and use your fingers to add the sausage in small pieces to the potatoes and let it start browning.
• Add the onions and the red and green peppers to the frying pan and gently stir a few times, cooking until the sausage is no longer pink and the onions and peppers begin to soften. Poke a potato cube with the tip of a knife, the potato is done when the knife goes all the way through.
• Crack the eggs into a blender and add the milk, cover, and blend for a few seconds until the yolks and whites are completely combined. Carefully pour the eggs into the frying pan. Top with the drained tomatoes and the mozzarella cheese.
• Let the eggs sit for a few minutes, then begin using a pancake turner or heatproof spatula to lift the eggs from the bottom of the pan, letting the uncooked eggs run down. As the eggs begin to set, gently chop them into smaller pieces with the spatula and stir to combine everything together. Continue lifting and stirring until everything is well heated through and the eggs are set to your liking.

This is absolutely delicious for breakfast or for dinner. Doubling the recipe will give you enough to serve a family of four or five for dinner plus leftovers for breakfast. Store in a covered container in the fridge, then pour into a frying pan and heat over medium heat until heated through. Serve with buttered toast.
