Ingredients
4 large eggs 1/2 cup diced sausage 1/2 avocado, sliced 1/4 cup salsa, low carb or homemade 1 tbsp olive oil Salt and pepper to taste Optional: fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
In a medium sized skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced sausage to the skillet and cook until browned, approximately 3 4 minutes. While the sausage is cooking, whisk the eggs in a separate bowl with salt and pepper to taste. Once the sausage is cooked, pour the whisked eggs into the skillet, stirring gently to incorporate the sausage. Cook the egg mixture until almost set but still slightly runny, approximately 2 3 minutes. Gently place the avocado slices on top of the cooked eggs and sausage. Spoon the salsa over the avocado and allow it to warm for about 1 minute. If desired, garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
