Ingredients
Scale
Breakfast Sausage
- 1 lb homemade lightened up breakfast sausage
Egg Mixture
- 12 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup salsa
Other Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups cooked quinoa

Instructions
- Cook the Sausage: In a large pan over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage for about 7 to 10 minutes until no longer pink, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Once done, remove the sausage from the pan and set it aside in a bowl.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated garlic, onion powder, salt, pepper, Greek yogurt, and salsa until fully combined.
- Cook Scrambled Eggs: Spray the same pan with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook on medium-low heat, stirring continuously to create soft scrambled eggs.
- Combine and Heat Through: When the eggs are mostly set, stir in the cooked sausage, cooked quinoa, and shredded cheddar cheese. Continue stirring until all ingredients are well combined and heated through, and the cheese is melted.
- Serve: Serve the sausage and cheese quinoa breakfast bowl hot for a filling and delicious meal.
Notes
- You can prepare the quinoa ahead of time to save morning prep work.
- Adjust the salsa quantity for desired spice levels.
- Use light or reduced-fat cheddar cheese to keep the dish lighter.
- Homemade lightened sausage can be replaced with store-bought low-fat sausage if preferred.
