Maple Bourbon-Spiced Apple and Sausage Breakfast Skillet

Ingredients

• 1 lb pork breakfast sausage, sliced into bite-sized pieces
• 2 large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), cored and thinly sliced
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
• 2 tbsp bourbon
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 4 large eggs
• Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter and add the sliced sausage. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through.
2. Add the sliced onions and apples to the skillet, cooking until they soften and start to caramelize, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup and bourbon. Pour the mixture over the sausage and apples in the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the glaze to thicken slightly.
5. Make four wells in the skillet and carefully crack one egg into each well.
6. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook until eggs are set to your liking, about 4-6 minutes for medium eggs.
7. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy warm!
