Kale, Mushroom + Egg Scramble with Chicken Sausage

MEAL TYPE: Breakfast

DIETARY RESTRICTION: Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free

MAKES 4 SERVINGS

We love to include meaty mushrooms in our meals because they support our immune system and help our bodies handle stress. (This makes them a great pick to eat at the start of the fall flu season.) Try baby Portobello mushrooms in this healthy scramble. We like to serve it with chicken sausage on the side as a filling weekend breakfast. Recipe courtesy of Andrea Bemis, chef/writer of Dishing Up The Dirt and owner of Tumbleweed Farm, in Hood River, OR.

INGREDIENTS

1 ½ Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil or ghee

1 bunch scallions, white and light green parts only, finely chopped

1 cup baby Portobello mushrooms, roughly chopped

1 small bunch lacinato kale, tough stems removed and finely chopped

6 farm fresh eggs

1 ½ tsp. dried oregano

4 pre-cooked chicken sausage links, cut into ¼-inch slices

Salt + pepper, to taste

Favorite hot sauce, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

Heat the olive oil or ghee in a large skillet set over medium heat. Add the scallions and mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and soft, about 3 minutes. Add the kale and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the kale turns bright green, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low.
Crack the eggs into a bowl and add the oregano. Whisk well and slowly pour the eggs into the skillet with the veggies. Lightly scrambled them into the veggies using a spatula, and cook until desired doneness. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
While the eggs are cooking, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the slices of chicken sausage and heat, turning once, until grill marks appear and they are lightly charred on each side, about 2 minutes per side.
Divide the eggs and veggies among four plates. Serve with the sausage and a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce and enjoy!

Is there a veggie protein you recommend to sub in place of the sausage?

There are many options for vegetarians with our barre3 recipes, and we are more than happy to help! You can start off by substituting any meats with beans or nuts. In addition, you can omit meat altogether or substitute the recipe on the meal plan with another barre3 recipe that does not include meat.

What is a substitute for kale, that provides the same nutrients? I tried kale but did not enjoy it.

Hi Niyana, another dark leafy green like spinach or swiss chard would be delicious!

I love this veggie combo. I made this for dinner the other night and it was a big hit. So flavorful and EASY!

Hi Mary, we suggest eating locally whenever possible and choosing meat that is organic, antibiotic-free and sustainably raised. Enjoy!
