Ingredients:

For the Sausage Layer:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced (mix of red, green, or yellow for added color)
  • 1 cup baby spinach leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Egg Layer:

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Topping:

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Fresh parsley leaves for garnish (optional)

Step-by-Step:

  1. Prepare the Sausage Layer:
    • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic, sautéing until they turn translucent and fragrant.
    • Introduce the diced bell peppers to the skillet, stirring them with care until they begin to soften.
    • Toss in the sliced sausages, allowing them to mingle with the vegetables and develop an enticing aroma.
    • Add the baby spinach leaves, gently wilting them in the mixture. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside.
  2. Prepare the Egg Layer:
    • In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk until well combined.
    • Incorporate the dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes (if desired) into the egg mixture, infusing it with delightful Mediterranean flavors. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Assemble the Breakfast Mugs:
    • Grease four heat-resistant mugs or ramekins with a dash of olive oil or cooking spray.
    • Divide the sausage mixture evenly among the mugs, creating the first layer of our breakfast delight.
    • Slowly pour the seasoned egg mixture over the sausage layer, filling each mug to the brim.
  4. Cook the Breakfast Mugs:
    • Place the mugs on a microwave-safe plate and cook on medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set. Microwaves may vary, so keep a close eye on them.
  5. Finishing Touches:
    • Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese over each breakfast mug, allowing it to melt gloriously over the top.
    • Garnish with fresh parsley leaves for a touch of herbal freshness.
