🥄 Texture

The bowl balances juicy, slightly crisp-edged sausage rounds with soft, fluffy scrambled eggs and tender, slightly caramelized onions. Fresh chopped lettuce under the warm mix provides a crisp, lightly wilted crunch that contrasts the richer components.

👃 Aroma

A savory, meaty aroma from the browned Italian sausages is complemented by sweet, caramelized onion notes and a hint of olive oil. Warm egg and subtle herb/spice undertones from the sausage round out a comforting, savory bouquet.

🍷 Pairs Well With

Crisp lager or a dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc; for a non-alcoholic option, iced green tea or sparkling water with a lemon wedge.

🥗 Side Dishes

Light pickles or quick-pickled cucumber for brightness, a simple miso or clear soup to complement the umami, or a small kimchi/cabbage slaw to add acidity and crunch.

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sausages and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden brown. Transfer to a plate.

In the same pan, add the remaining olive oil and diced onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until the onion becomes soft and slightly golden.

Push the onions to the side of the pan. Crack the 2 eggs into the empty space, then scramble them gently with a spatula until fully cooked (about 2-3 minutes). Mix the cooked eggs with the onions.

Return the cooked sausages to the pan and stir everything together for 1 minute. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

Remove from heat and serve the warm sausage-egg mixture over a bed of fresh chopped lettuce in a bowl. The warm ingredients will slightly wilt the lettuce while keeping it crispy.
