Loaded Scrambled Eggs, made with sausage, onion, peppers, mushrooms, spinach, eggs and herbs, make a colorful and pleasing plate for breakfast, brunch or brinner. Whip up a batch in no time for a satisfying meal.

We love preparing eggs around here. Poached, fried, scrambled, we do not discriminate. All eggs are welcome here. And not just for breakfast either. We’re big fans of brinner. You know … breakfast + dinner = brinner. Brinner is good eats, y’all. A Sunday night brinner is a meal to look forward to and a great ending to the week. These Loaded Scrambled Eggs are absolutely perfect addition to brinner, and of course, regular breakfast or brunch too.

Armed with a skillet and an assortment of simple ingredients these hearty Loaded Scrambled Eggs can be ready in no time. They are just perfect for a satisfying breakfast, brunch, or our favorite, breakfast for dinner, aka brinner. We do enjoy a good brinner once in a while. Do you?

These Loaded Scrambled Eggs are easy and relatively quick to make. From start to finish the total cook time is about 15-20 minutes tops. The ingredients can be prepped ahead of time, with most of the ingredients ready and kept waiting in the refrigerator for go time. In addition to the eggs, groundsausage, diced onion, diced bell peppers, sliced mushrooms, baby spinach leaves, and a few basicherbs are called for in the recipe.

Easily substitute different types of sausage, peppers, or other leafy greens. Chicken sausage would be nice, and perhaps poblano peppers, and kale instead of baby spinach. The combinations are endless. The versatility is one of the things I like about making loaded scrambled eggs. We use whatever we have on hand. It’s always a great go-to breakfast. And if you’re eating carb free, this loaded scramble is a great way to start the day with a hearty carb free meal.
