Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound bulk breakfast sausage
1 red bell pepper (cored and sliced)
1 yellow bell pepper (cored and sliced)
0.5 yellow onion (medium, sliced)
0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
6 eggs (large)
2 avocados (ripe, sliced)
2 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet (about 10-12 inches) over medium heat. Add bulk breakfast sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary and push sausage to one side of the skillet.
To the other side of the skillet, add sliced red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and yellow onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
Stir the sausage and vegetables together. Season with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Make 6 small wells in the sausage and vegetable mixture. Carefully crack one egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook over medium-low heat for 5-8 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and yolks are to your desired runniness.
While eggs cook, slice the avocados. Serve the skillet eggs with sausage and bell peppers immediately, topped with fresh sliced avocado and optional chopped fresh parsley.

Notes

You can pre-chop the bell peppers and onion ahead of time to make this meal even quicker on a busy weeknight. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the salt and pepper.
