Ingredients

• Scrambled Eggs:
  • 2 large eggs
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon butter or olive oil
• Other Plate Components:
  • 1 grilled non-pork sausage (try chicken or turkey)
  • Handful of cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Cucumber slices (about 1/4 cucumber)
  • Beet slices (pre-cooked or canned for convenience)
  • 1 slice toasted bread (whole grain or sourdough)
  • Small handful of walnuts

Step 1: Prepare the Scrambled Eggs
Start by cracking the eggs into a small bowl. Whisk them together with a pinch of salt and pepper until they are well mixed. Next, heat a small non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add your butter or olive oil. Once melted, pour in the eggs. Cook gently, stirring with a spatula until they are just how you like them. I prefer mine soft and creamy, but if you like them firmer, feel free to cook them a bit longer.

Step 2: Grill the Sausage
While your eggs are cooking, take a separate pan and grill the non-pork sausage over medium heat. Cook until it’s nicely browned and cooked through. Chicken or turkey sausages are fantastic choices for a lean yet tasty protein source.

Step 3: Prepare the Fresh Ingredients
While the eggs and sausage are sizzling away, beautifully arrange the cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, beet slices, and walnuts on a plate. I love incorporating fresh veggies into breakfast; they add a delightful crunch and vibrant flavors that combine perfectly with warm eggs and sausage.

Step 4: Toast the Bread
Toast your slice of bread until it’s just right for you. Whole grain or sourdough bread adds extra fiber and deliciousness. Once ready, add it to your plate.

Step 5: Assemble the Plate
Finally, when everything is ready, it’s time to plate up! Arrange the scrambled eggs, grilled sausage, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, beet slices, walnuts, and your slice of toast together. If you want a little extra flavor, sprinkle some fresh herbs over the eggs or tomatoes!

Serving:
This breakfast plate shines best when served hot and fresh. Enjoy it while the scrambled eggs and sausage are still warm, perhaps with a cozy cup of coffee or tea to complete your morning meal.

Storage:
If you happen to have leftovers, store each ingredient separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Both the eggs and sausage can be reheated in the microwave for about 30 seconds, but for the best experience, fresh is always best!

• For Creamy Eggs: If you enjoy extra creamy scrambled eggs, try adding a splash of milk or cream before cooking.
• Make It Vegetarian: You can easily create a vegetarian version by substituting the sausage with grilled mushrooms or slices of avocado.
• Add Fresh Herbs: A sprinkle of fresh parsley or chives over the eggs and tomatoes can provide a delightful burst of flavor.

Q1: Can I use other vegetables?
Absolutely! Feel free to mix in or swap out any veggies you love. Bell peppers, avocados, or radishes would all make great additions.

Q2: Can I make the eggs ahead of time?
While scrambled eggs are best served fresh, if needed, you can slightly undercook them and reheat them just before serving.

Q3: What type of bread works best?
Whole grain, sourdough, and even rye bread are excellent choices for a hearty breakfast. Use your favorite kind or whatever you have at home!

Q4: How can I add more protein?
Consider adding another egg or pairing this breakfast with a yogurt cup for an extra protein kick.

Q5: Can I add cheese to the eggs?
Definitely! A sprinkle of shredded cheese like cheddar or feta can enhance both flavor and creaminess.
