Sausage Egg

Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the egg with chopped sausage, water, and seasoning.
- Pour the mixture into a skillet with a small amount of oil or butter.
- Cook over medium or hot heat as an omelet until set.
- Turn once until the edges are browned.
- Serve with slices of tomato.
Tips & Substitutions
For a fluffier omelet, whisk the egg well before mixing it with the sausage. If you don't have leftover sausage cake, you can substitute it with diced cooked sausage or any other meat of your choice. A sprinkle of cheese can also enhance the flavor. For seasoning, feel free to use herbs like oregano or basil for a fresh twist, or even try a dash of hot sauce for some heat.
Serving Suggestions
This dish pairs beautifully with slices of fresh tomato, which add a refreshing contrast. Consider serving it alongside whole grain toast or a light salad for a complete meal. For a heartier option, serve it with a side of roasted potatoes or hash browns. It's a versatile dish that works well for breakfast, lunch, or a quick dinner.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place the omelet in a skillet over low heat until warmed through, or microwave for about 30 seconds. Be careful not to overcook it during reheating, as that can make the egg rubbery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of sausage?
Absolutely! You can use any cooked sausage you have on hand, such as Italian sausage, chicken sausage, or even vegetarian sausage. Just chop it up and mix it in as directed. Each type will add its unique flavor to the omelet, so feel free to experiment with your favorites.
What can I add to make this more filling?
To make the omelet more filling, consider adding vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms. Sauté the vegetables in the skillet before adding the egg mixture. You can also mix in cheese or serve it with avocado slices for added richness.
How do I know when the omelet is done cooking?
The omelet is done when the edges are browned and the center is set but still slightly moist. You can gently lift the edges with a spatula to check the doneness. If you like your omelet a bit more cooked, you can turn it once more before serving.
