Instructions
Prep Time: 10 min | Cook Time: 10 min | Servings: 1
1
Whisk eggs, heavy cream, and 2 tablespoons of crumbled cotija or queso fresco in a bowl until well mixed, then set aside.
2
Melt butter in a large nonstick sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add diced sausage and sauté until it begins to lightly brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in half the corn tortillas, half the hatch green chile sauce, roasted peppers, and cilantro, then reduce heat to medium and gently stir in the egg mixture. Cook until the eggs reach a soft scrambled consistency (about 2-3 minutes).
3
Remove the pan from the heat and let it sit for 1 minute.
4
Divide the scramble into 3-4 servings on a platter or individual plates. Sprinkle with the remaining tortillas. Spoon the remaining chile sauce on top and garnish with tomatoes, avocado, crema or sour cream, remaining crumbled cheese, and green onions.
