Ingredients

  • ¼ lb mild breakfast sausage
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 1 tbs butter
  • 5 eggs
  • ¼ c milk
  • tsp garlic powder
  • tsp onion power
  • ¼ tsp dried thyme
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ c Swiss cheese (grated)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°
  • In an 8 inch cast iron (or other ovenproof skillet), cook sausage over medium heat until brown (about 5 minutes)
  • While the sausage cooks, slice one onion in half, then thinly slice into half rounds
  • Remove sausage from skillet, set aside, and drain the grease. In same skillet, reduce heat to medium-low and melt butter.
  • Add onions, cover, and cook 15 minutes (stirring every 5 minutes or so to make sure they aren’t burning).
  • Uncover onions, and continue to cook 5 – 10 more minutes until the onions are soft and caramelized.
  • Whisk eggs, milk, and spices until well combined. Add sausage, caramelized onions, and half of the shredded Swiss. Pour mixture into same warm skillet, top with remaining cheese.
  • Bake uncovered for 15 – 18 minutes, until eggs are set and cheese is melted.

Notes

This recipe works best in a well seasoned cast iron skillet (as the seasoning will make it be nonstick). If you are using a dish or skillet other than cast iron, you may want to butter or spray the pan with nonstick spray before adding the eggs to help it not stick.
