How to Make the Hearty Breakfast Spread
🍳 Scrambled Eggs
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk (if using), salt, and pepper.
- Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Add egg mixture and cook gently, stirring slowly, until just set and soft.
- Remove from heat. Sprinkle with paprika and chopped parsley.
🌭 Sausages
- Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add sausages and cook 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
- Remove and keep warm.
🥩 Steak
- Season steak slices with salt and pepper.
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add steak and sear 2–3 minutes per side until browned and just cooked.
🍅 Grilled Tomatoes
- Brush cut side of tomatoes with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- Grill cut-side down in a skillet or grill pan for 2–3 minutes, until lightly charred and softened.
Tips for Success
- Use multiple pans to speed up cooking if you’re feeding a crowd.
- Don’t overcook the eggs—gentle heat keeps them creamy and soft.
- Let the steak rest briefly before serving to keep juices locked in.
- Use fresh herbs to brighten the plate and add color.
