🧂 Ingredients (Serves 1)

  • 3 pasture-raised eggs

  • 3 oz chicken sausage, sliced

  • ¼ cup shredded cheddar or goat cheese

  • 1 cup baby spinach

  • 1 tsp olive oil or ghee

  • 2 tbsp fresh salsa (mixed into the eggs)

  • Hot sauce, to taste

  • Salt + pepper

🍳 Instructions

  1. Brown the sausage:
    In a nonstick or cast iron skillet, heat oil or ghee over medium heat. Add sliced chicken sausage and cook until browned and crispy on the edges (about 3–4 minutes).

  2. Wilt the spinach:
    Push sausage to one side, add spinach to the other. Cook until wilted (1–2 minutes), stirring occasionally.

  3. Make salsa eggs:
    In a small bowl, beat the eggs with shredded cheese, salsa, and a pinch of salt + pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and gently scramble, folding the eggs until soft and creamy.

  4. Plate it up:
    Serve hot with a dash of hot sauce on top
