Prep time: 5 minutes

4 large eggs
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 cup cheese curds (or ⅔ cup favorite melting cheese)

Directions

  1. In an 8-inch nonstick skillet, add the cream and cracked eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Mix gently with your fingers, taking care not to break the yolks. Add the cheese curds and sausage to the cream parts and top the eggs with 2 dashes of Tabasco.
