Equipment
Ingredients
- 5 eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheese I used a mix of cheddar and jack
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 1/4 cup milk
- salt, pepper, paprika, chili flake to taste
- 3 slices bacon chopped into strips
- 1/3 pound breakfast sausage
- 1/2 small onion
- 1/3 pound pasta cooked to package instructions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- Whisk together the eggs, cheese, parsley, and milk. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, but not too much cause the bacon and sausage are already pretty salty.
- Preheat a 9 inch stainless steel frying pan over medium high heat. Add a splash of olive oil to coat the pan. Add in the bacon, sausage, and onion and stir to combine. Cook about 6 -8 minutes, stirring often, until browned and cooked though.
- If there is a ton of excess fat, use a spoon to remove a little. You want a good amount of fat coating the meat and bottom of the pan, but with this much bacon and sausage it can be a lot.
- Stir the pasta into the meat in the pan. Use tongs and stir to combine. Turn heat to high.
- Pour the egg mixture into the pan and gently move everything around a bit with your tongs to incorporate the eggs into the pasta and all throughout the meat.
- Transfer the pan to the oven and cook about 20 minutes until cooked through. You can use a knife to test if the center is done.
- Allow to sit for 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
