Cut: Pork Sausage

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes
Number of Servings: 2

Ingredient

2 Tbsp (30 mL) canola oil
1/2 lb (250 g) pork sausage, casing removed
1 medium red bell pepper, cored, seeded and cut into 1- inch pieces
1 small onion, sliced
1 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups (375 mL) baby spinach
2 large eggs
1/4 tsp (1 mL) red pepper flakes
salt and black pepper to taste
hot sauce, optional
cilantro, for garnish

Directions:

In a large cast-iron skillet, heat 1 Tbsp (15 mL) of the oil over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and drain off any excess fat in the pan.
Return skillet to heat and add the remaining 1 Tbsp (15 mL) of oil. Saute red pepper, onion and garlic for about 3-4 minutes or until onions are soft; stirring occasionally.
Add spinach to skillet, stir to combine and cook until wilted; about 1 minute. Season with red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Return the sausage to the pan and cook for 2 minutes more.
Make 2 wells in the centre of the mixture and crack eggs into each well. Reduce the heat to medium, cover and cook until egg whites are completely set about 2 minutes, depending on how runny you want the yoke. Serve immediately!
