German Country Breakfast - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 c. butter
4 bacon slices, cooked crisp and crumbled
1 medium onion, thinly sliced and pushed into rings
6 oz. German sausage, sliced and chopped
4 small potatoes, peeled, boiled until nearly tender, drained and sliced
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
3 Tbsp. finely grated Cheddar cheese
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh chives

Preparation

In a medium heavy frying pan, melt half of the butter over moderate heat.
When the foam subsides, add the bacon.
Fry, stirring occasionally for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp and brown and has rendered most of its fat.
Add the onion, sausage and potato slices with the remaining butter and fry, stirring frequently, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are lightly browned and the sausage is heated thoroughly.
Stir in the salt, pepper and cheese.
Pour the eggs over the bacon and vegetable mixture and cook, stirring to incorporate it with the vegetables, until the eggs are lightly scrambled.
Remove the pan from heat.
Turn the mixture out into a warmed serving dish. Sprinkle with the chopped chives and serve immediately.
