1 lb of ground sausage 
1/4 cup dried parsley
6 large eggs

​1/2 cup shredded jack cheese
  • Cook sausage in a large skillet (preferrably one with a lid).  Set cooked sausage aside.
  • Melt butter in the same skillet.
  • Add potatoes and onions.  Cover and cook until potatoes are barely fork tender and onion is clear; about 20 minutes.
  • Stir in parsley.
  • Add meat back to skillet.
  • In a separate bowl, stir together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper.  Add all at once to the meat/potatoes mixture.  Cook like you would any scrambled eggs, making sure the eggs are cooked through, and it doesn't stick to the bottom of the skillet.
  • When eggs are set. sprinkle with the cheese.  Turn off your burner and cover with lid to allow the cheese to melt.
