Ingredients You’ll Need

• 4 eggs – The stars of the show. Treat them gently… or just crack ‘em in.
• 2 sausages (any kind: pork, chicken, or even veggie sausage) – Because what’s life without a little sizzle?
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced – Bonus points if you don’t drop half of them on the floor.
• ½ onion, diced – Adds that “I actually cooked” flavor.
• ½ cup shredded cheese – Mozzarella, cheddar, or whatever cheesy weapon you choose.
• 1 tbsp butter or oil – Butter = flavor. Oil = slightly less guilt. Your call.
• Salt & pepper – The Beyoncé and Jay-Z of seasonings.Fresh herbs (optional) – Parsley, chives, or cilantro if you want it to look Instagram-worthy.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep your ingredients. Slice mushrooms, dice onions, shred cheese, and whisper affirmations to your eggs (“Don’t screw this up”).
2. Cook the sausage. Heat a pan, toss in sausage (remove casing if needed), and cook until browned and slightly crispy. Break it up with a spatula like you’re stress-relieving.
3. Add the veggies. Throw in onions and mushrooms. Cook until onions are soft and mushrooms stop pretending to be sponges.
4. Scramble the eggs. In a bowl, whisk eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour them into the pan. Stir gently so they set into fluffy curds, not sad rubbery bits.
5. Add the cheese. Sprinkle that glorious cheese rain over the scramble. Stir until melty and gooey.
6. Finish with herbs. Optional but makes it feel fancier. Toss on a sprinkle of parsley or chives and boom—you’re officially a gourmet chef.
7. Serve hot. Ideally with toast, coffee, and zero responsibilities for the next hour.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Overcooking the eggs. Unless you’re into sad, dry scrambled eggs (I’m not judging… actually, yes, I am).
• Forgetting to season. Eggs without salt are just… yellow disappointment.
• Using raw mushrooms. They’ll just sit there, all rubbery and sad. Cook those bad boys until golden.
• Adding cheese too early. If you toss it in before the eggs set, you’ll get a gloopy mess instead of melty perfection.

Alternatives & Substitutions

• No sausage? Use bacon, ham, or even tofu. (Tofu soaks up flavor like a champ.)
• Dairy-free? Skip cheese or use a dairy-free one. Just know… it’s not quite the same, but I support your journey.
• Low-carb vibes? Skip the toast and add more veggies. Bell peppers, spinach, or zucchini would all work.
• Spice it up! Add chili flakes, hot sauce, or jalapeños if you want a kick. (Also a great way to clear your sinuses.)
• Vegan twist. Use vegan sausage, plant-based cheese, and tofu scramble instead of eggs. Voilà—still tasty!

FAQs

Can I meal-prep this?

Sure, but scrambled eggs aren’t exactly the prom queen of leftovers. They get sad and watery. Better idea: prep the sausage and veggies ahead, then scramble fresh eggs when you’re ready.

What kind of mushrooms work best?

Honestly, whatever you’ve got. Button, cremini, shiitake… Just don’t use the sketchy ones your neighbor swears are “edible.”

Can I make this without cheese?

Technically yes, but also… why would you want to live like that?

Is this breakfast, lunch, or dinner?

Yes. It’s the universal meal. Works at 8 AM, 2 PM, or even midnight when you’re avoiding your life responsibilities.

Do I have to use butter?

Nope! Oil works fine. But butter adds that “I cooked this with love” flavor (aka: fat).

Can I double the recipe?

Absolutely. Just use a bigger pan unless you enjoy the chaos of food overflowing everywhere.

Will this impress my date?

If your date loves comfort food and doesn’t expect Michelin stars, then yes. Bonus: you’ll look effortlessly charming while whipping it up.
