Dumplings and Eggs

So, I couldn't think of a good name for this dish. So many of the things we eat in my family are described by exactly what they are. Especially the dumpling dishes and this one is no exception.

Our holiday dinners definitely feature dumplings which means we make a lot of them. So many that we can never finish them all and we always end up with left overs. One of the things we do with the leftover dumplings is make a delicious breakfast. This recipe is super simple and very quick so go have at it! It makes enough for two but can easily be adjusted up or down.

Dumplings and Eggs

Tools:
Frying pan
Small Mixing Bowl
Fork
Knife
Cutting Board
Spatula


Ingredients:

2 Dumplings (recipe for those found here)
2 Eggs
2 tbs. Milk
Salt
Pepper
Shredded Cheese (I like pepper jack but any cheese should work)
Sausage links (optional)

Instructions:

• (Optional) Fry up the sausage on the same pan you will make the Dumplings and Eggs on. Once evenly browned, remove from pan and set aside. Leave drippings in pan for extra amazing flavor added to your Dumplings and Eggs.
• Beat eggs and milk in a small mixing bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste. I like a fair amount of each. Don't be too stingy or you'll just end up adding it at the table.
• Cut up dumplings into bite size pieces on the cutting board.
• Add dumplings to egg mixture. Stir around until dumplings are thoroughly coated in egg.
• Add cheese to mixture. Stir.
• Pour mixture into frying pan with the heat set to medium.
• Continuously stir mixture around in pan with your spatula to prevent burning. Keep stirring until the egg is completely cooked.
• Remove from heat and serve!

I made this for my husband for the first time after this Thanksgiving and now he's hooked. He's actually requested that I try to always have a few dumplings in the fridge so I can make this in the mornings. Let me know if you like it as much as he does!
