That sounds like a perfect hearty breakfast! Here’s a full recipe to make Fluffy Scrambled Eggs, Bacon, Sausage Patties, and Home Fries from scratch.
Homemade Fluffy Scrambled Eggs, Bacon, Sausage Patties, and Home Fries
Ingredients:
For the Fluffy Scrambled Eggs:
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon milk or cream (optional, for extra fluffiness)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Bacon:
- 6-8 strips of bacon
For the Sausage Patties:
- 1 lb (450g) ground pork or breakfast sausage (you can also use turkey sausage)
- 1 teaspoon sage (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Home Fries:
- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced into small cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 bell pepper (optional), diced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Sausage Patties:
- In a bowl, combine the ground sausage with sage, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Form the sausage mixture into 4-6 patties (depending on the size you prefer).
- Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, cook the sausage patties for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 160°F or 71°C). Remove and set aside.
2. Cook the Bacon:
- While the sausage patties are cooking, heat another pan over medium heat or use the same pan if you prefer. Lay the bacon strips flat in the pan.
- Cook the bacon for 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until it’s crispy and browned. Remove the bacon from the pan and drain on paper towels. Set aside.
3. Make the Home Fries:
- Heat the olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the diced potatoes and cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and become golden brown.
- Add the chopped onion and bell pepper (if using) and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the potatoes are crispy on the outside.
- Season with salt, pepper, and paprika, then toss to coat. Remove from heat and set aside, covered, to keep warm.
4. Scramble the Eggs:
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them together with a pinch of salt, pepper, and milk or cream (if using).
- Heat a non-stick skillet over low to medium heat and add the butter. Once the butter is melted, pour in the eggs.
- Stir gently and continuously with a spatula, scraping the sides and bottom of the pan, until the eggs are soft, fluffy, and slightly undercooked (they will continue to cook once off the heat). This usually takes about 3-4 minutes.
- Remove the eggs from the skillet and set aside.
5. Assemble and Serve:
- Serve the scrambled eggs alongside the crispy bacon, sausage patties, and golden home fries.
- Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley or chives for a burst of color.
Tips:
- If you prefer your scrambled eggs more creamy, you can add a touch of heavy cream instead of milk.
- You can cook the bacon and sausage patties in the oven if you prefer to make everything at once. Just bake the bacon on a sheet pan at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, and bake sausage patties at the same temperature for 20-25 minutes.
- Feel free to customize your home fries by adding more veggies like mushrooms or spinach!
