Fried Eggs with Sausage & Cheese
A hearty one-pan breakfast: tomato softened in olive oil, sausage browned, then eggs stirred through and crowned with olives and a melting handful of cheese — perfect rolled into a warm tortilla.
A hearty skillet breakfast that brings together soft eggs, browned sausage, and strands of melting cheese in a single pan. Quick enough for a busy morning, it turns into a full meal wrapped in warm tortilla.
How to Prepare
Heat the olive oil and sauté the diced tomato until softened.
Add the sliced hot dogs and cook until lightly golden.
Pour in the beaten eggs, season with salt and black pepper, and stir gently until just set.
Scatter over the olive slices and shredded cheese and let it melt.
Serve hot, wrapped in or alongside warm tortilla bread.

Keep the heat moderate and stir the eggs off the heat just before they look fully set — they will finish cooking in the hot pan and stay soft.
Ingredient Swaps
Swap the hot dogs for slices of pastrami or cooked sausage, whatever you have on hand.
Use any good melting cheese such as mozzarella or cheddar in place of the mixed blend.
Instead of tortilla, serve it with pita bread or toasted bread.
