Jalapeno, tomato and chicken sausage scrambled eggs (PALEO!)

I'm not too big a fan of breakfast.  I have eaten cereal, oatmeal, yogurt, eggs, etc. in the past.  But I would rather have a steak or a quesadilla in the morning than "breakfast" food.

But one morning, I randomly threw this dish together, and it made my taste buds happy.  And my stomach full.  So I just needed to share it with you!


Plus, it's pretty simple to make! I threw together chicken sausage, red onions, tomatoes, jalapenos, scrambled eggs, and I topped it with salsa.  And it was good.  It was very good.

Here's how I made my Jalapeno, tomato and chicken sausage scrambled eggs:

Start by heating up some olive oil in a large skillet... add some minced red onion (or shallots - I've used both with fantastic results) and sautee for a few minutes until turns translucent.  Stir.  Meanwhile, mince jalapenos and slice tomatoes (I love campari, but they are expensive, so any tomato works):


When onions are done cooking, add jalapeno and sliced chicken sausage


Stir. Add tomatoes, stir again.


Crack 4-7 eggs, using only 2 whole eggs and the rest egg whites, whisk and then add to pan:


...stir, scraping the bottom of the pan to allow the uncooked egg to come into contact with the pan and cook fully...


...and then once the eggs are fully cooked, plate... top with salsa (and fat free sour cream if you're not following PALEO)...


And inhale.  The sweetness of the chicken sausage plus the spiciness of the jalapenos makes this a kaleidoscope of a dish in terms of flavor... I've made this dish four times in the past 4 weeks, that's how much I love it! 

Here's the full recipe.
