Ingredients

2 tsp Avocado Oil divided
4 links Chicken Apple Sausage cut into slices
1 medium Zucchini cubed
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/4 tsp Paprika
6 Eggs
1/4 tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
1 tsp Everything Bagel Seasoning
1/4 cup Feta Cheese
Cooking Oil Spray
Fresh Dill

Instructions

Heat 1 tsp of the avocado oil in a large pan over medium heat
Add the sliced chicken apple sausage and cook until the sausage is evenly browned and completely warmed through (about 5-10 minutes)
Remove from pan
Toss the cubed zucchini with the salt, garlic powder and paprika
Heat the remaining tsp of oil in the pan over medium heat and add the seasoned zucchini
Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the zucchini is lightly caramelized and just soft - careful not to overcook, the zucchini can get soggy
Stir the sausage and zucchini together in the pan and remove from heat
Spray a small non-stick pan with oil spray of choice and heat to medium/low
Crack the eggs in ( I do 2 at a time) and cook for about 3-5 minutes, covering with a lid the last few minutes - cook the eggs to your preferred doneness (you can also scramble them)
Add roughly 1 cup of sausage and zucchini mixture to each plate with 2 eggs on top per serving (makes about 3 servings)
Top with feta crumbles, *pepper flakes and bagel seasoning along with optional fresh dill

Notes

*Nutrition facts are auto calculated and can vary based on ingredients or brands used

*Serving size for this dish is about 1 cup of sausage and zucchini mixture with 2 eggs per serving

*leave off pepper flakes if you don't like spice

- You can change up the type or flavor of sausage to your preferences

- On days when you are in a rush, you can quickly scramble the eggs instead of doing sunny side up

- I personally love fresh dill on top of this breakfast bowl but feel free to use your favorite herbs and spices

- For storage, put the sausage and zucchini in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Keep the feta and herbs separate and top when ready to enjoy. Cook the eggs fresh for serving.
