Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
4 large eggs
120 g halal beef or chicken sausage, sliced
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons milk or cream
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1 small tomato, diced, optional
1/4 cup shredded cheese, optional
Directions
Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add the milk, salt, black pepper, and sweet paprika. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and lightly foamy.
Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced halal sausage and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often, until lightly browned.
Add the chopped onion and butter. Cook for another 2 minutes, until the onion softens and becomes fragrant. Add the diced tomato if using, and cook for 1 more minute.
Reduce the heat to low. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit for a few seconds, then gently stir with a spatula. Continue folding the eggs slowly until they are soft, creamy, and just set.
Remove from the heat while the eggs are still slightly glossy. Sprinkle with parsley and cheese if desired. Serve warm.
For a spicier version, add a pinch of chili flakes or hot paprika. For a vegetable-packed breakfast, stir in bell pepper, mushrooms, spinach, or zucchini.
You can also make it creamier by adding extra cheese or a spoonful of cream. For a lighter version, use chicken sausage and reduce the butter to 1 teaspoon.
Storage/Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
To reheat, warm gently in a skillet over low heat, stirring often. You can also microwave it in short 20-second bursts, but avoid overheating because the eggs may become dry.
