Ingredients

• 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
• 1 zucchini, sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 4 fully cooked sausage links (chicken, turkey, or pork), sliced into coins
• 8 large eggs
• 6 tbsp milk or cream (optional, for fluffier eggs)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh herbs (parsley, basil, or chives)
• Optional toppings: grated cheese, hot sauce, or avocado

Instructions

1. Slice zucchini, red bell pepper, and sausage. Crack the eggs into a bowl, add milk (if using), and whisk until well combined. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add red pepper and sauté for 2 minutes, then add zucchini. Cook until veggies are just tender, about 5–6 minutes.
3. Stir in the sliced sausage and cook for another 3–4 minutes, until warmed through and lightly browned.
4. Push the sausage and veggies to one side of the skillet. Pour the eggs into the other side and gently scramble until just set. Stir everything together.
5. Sprinkle with fresh herbs, adjust seasoning, and top with cheese or avocado if desired. Serve hot — straight from the pan or portioned into bowls.
