Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat.

  2. Add crumbled sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain excess grease.

  3. Add onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
    6 large eggs, 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper
  5. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and vegetables in the skillet.

  6. Cook over medium-low heat until the edges of the eggs begin to set, about 5 minutes.
  7. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the skillet.
    1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  8. Place the skillet in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives, if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

For the ultimate Campfire Skillet Breakfast experience, ensure your skillet is truly oven-safe before transferring it to the oven. Cast iron skillets are ideal. Don't overcook the sausage and vegetables in the initial steps; you want them to be slightly underdone as they will continue to cook in the oven.
