Ingredients

• 12 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil or 1 tablespoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and thinly sliced
• 8 ounces white mushrooms, thinly sliced
• 3/4 pound smoked sausage, cut into 1/2 inch slices

Directions

1. Beat the eggs in a medium size bowl. Add the cheese and basil, stir to combine and set aside.
2. Place a large skillet, preferably cast iron, on a grill over a medium-hot fire. Add the olive oil and the onion, red bell pepper and mushrooms and cook, stirring regularly, until the vegetables soften, about 6 minutes. Add the sausage slices and cook for two minutes more.
3. Add the egg mixture and cook, stirring continuously, until they are just cooked through.
4. Serve immediately.

Note: 6 ounces drained canned mushrooms and 4 ounces jarred, roasted peppers can be substituted for the fresh mushrooms and red bell pepper.
