Ingredients
- 8 eggs
- ¼ cup (60 mL) water
- 1 ½ tsp (7.5 mL) dried thyme
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) chopped fresh parsley
- ¼ tsp (1.25 mL) pepper
- ½ lb (0.3 kg) spicy Italian sausage, casing removed
- 1 sweet red pepper, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped

Instructions
- Step 1
Preheat broiler.
- Step 2
Whisk eggs, water, thyme, parsley and pepper. Set aside.
- Step 3
Cook sausage in 10-inch (25 cm) ovenproof non-stick skillet over medium heat until no longer pink; drain fat. Remove sausage from skillet; set aside.
- Step 4
Heat same skillet over medium-high heat. Add red pepper, garlic and onion; cook, stirring frequently, until soft. Stir in cooked sausage.
