Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk or cream
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Main Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil
- 1/2 pound Polish kielbasa, sliced into thin rounds
Optional
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or parsley
Instructions
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Cook the Kielbasa: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the butter or oil. When melted, add the sliced kielbasa and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned and heated through.
- Sauté Onions (Optional): If using, add the chopped onions with the kielbasa and sauté until they soften and become translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add Eggs to Skillet: Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the kielbasa. Let the eggs sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds to begin setting.
- Scramble the Eggs: Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, pushing them from the edges toward the center. Continue to cook and fold the eggs gently until they are just set but still soft and creamy, being careful not to overcook.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with fresh chopped chives or parsley if desired. Serve the scrambled eggs warm alongside toast or hash browns.
Notes
- For added richness and flavor, stir in shredded cheese such as cheddar or Swiss while cooking the eggs.
- Sautéed bell peppers or mushrooms can be added with the onions for a heartier dish.
- Serve with toast, hash browns, or as a filling for breakfast sandwiches to make a complete meal.
