How to Make The Italian Scramble

  1. Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender (about 8-10 minutes).
  2. Add the crumbled Italian sausage to the pan. Cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the pan. Cook until the onion is softened and translucent, and the peppers are tender-crisp (about 5 minutes).
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and oregano.
  5. Pour the egg mixture into the pan with the sausage and vegetables. Add the chopped tomato and mozzarella cheese.
  6. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are set but still soft and fluffy (about 5-7 minutes). Avoid overcooking!
  7. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley.
  8. Serve immediately with warm Italian bread.
