Ingredients

Scrambled Eggs with Sausage:

  • 3 large eggs (pasture-raised preferred)

  • ¼ cup diced sausage (sugar-free, nitrate-free preferred)

  • 1 tablespoon butter (for cooking)

  • Pinch of sea salt

  • Pinch of freshly ground black pepper (optional)


Sliced Cucumber:

  • ½ small cucumber, sliced thinly or into rounds

  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)

Preparation

Prepare the Sausage:

  1. Dice the Sausage:

    • Cut the sausage into small bite-sized pieces.

  2. Heat the Skillet:

    • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

    • Add the diced sausage and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly browned and heated through.


Prepare the Scrambled Eggs:

  1. Whisk the Eggs:

    • Crack the eggs into a bowl.

    • Add a pinch of sea salt and whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined.

  2. Melt the Butter:

    • Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet with the sausage.

    • Once melted, pour the whisked eggs into the skillet.

  3. Scramble the Eggs:

    • Stir gently with a spatula, pulling the cooked edges toward the center.

    • Continue stirring until the eggs are softly set and fully cooked (about 3-4 minutes).

    • Remove from heat immediately to prevent overcooking.


Prepare the Cucumber:

  1. Slice the Cucumber:

    • Slice the cucumber into thin rounds or sticks.

    • For extra crunch, keep the skin on.

  2. Optional Seasoning:

    • Lightly sprinkle with sea salt for added flavor.


Assemble and Serve:

  1. Plate the Eggs and Cucumber:

    • Transfer the scrambled eggs and sausage mixture to a plate.

    • Add the sliced cucumber on the side for a refreshing, crunchy contrast.

  2. Optional Garnish:

    • Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like dill or parsley for added flavor.


Ways to Get Kids Involved:

  • Crack and Whisk the Eggs: Let the kids crack the eggs and whisk them until smooth.

  • Dice the Sausage: Supervised older kids can help dice the sausage with a kid-safe knife.

  • Stir the Eggs: Have them gently stir the eggs while cooking to prevent overcooking.

  • Slice the Cucumber: Allow them to arrange the cucumber slices on the plate.

  • Name the Dish: Encourage them to give their breakfast a fun name like “Sausage Scramble Surprise” or “Eggy Cucumber Crunch.”


Quick Flavor Boost Options (Optional):

  • Cheddar Cheese Melt: Add shredded cheddar on top of the scrambled eggs for extra creaminess.

  • Garlic and Herb Twist: Add a sprinkle of garlic powder and fresh herbs while cooking the eggs.

  • Hot Sauce Drizzle: For adventurous eaters, drizzle a little sugar-free hot sauce over the eggs.

  • Avocado on the Side: Serve with avocado slices for added creaminess and healthy fats.

  • Parmesan Crumble: Top the eggs with grated Parmesan for a salty, nutty finish.

  • Lemon-Dill Cucumber: Toss the cucumber slices with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a sprinkle of dill for a zesty touch.
