Delicious Eggs (aka Use Those Leftover Herbs!)

I always have a difficult time finding ways to use my leftover herbs. A delicious scramble is a great way to do it! I made this for Dave, Stephanie, and Michelle when the girls came for a surprise visit!!!

Use Up Things in the Fridge Eggs (from ME) serves 4
9 eggs
milk
fresh thyme (a handful of sprigs, 1/2 inch diameter or so, strip the leaves and rough chop)
fresh chives (a handful, 1/2 inch diameter or so)
handful of crumbled gorgonzola
2 tbsp olive oil
shallot, minced
6 frozen breakfast sausages, thawed and sliced
milk
salt and pepper
(sliced mushrooms would be a delicious addition, but I didn't have any)

Start the sausages thawing in the microwave. Crack each egg into a small bowl before putting into a large mixing bowl, in case one is rotten. Chop up the herbs and toss them, the gorgonzola, in the bowl. Mince the shallot. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat and saute the sliced sausages and shallot until the shallot bits soften and the sausage begins brown, a few minutes. While the sausages and shallot cook, splash some milk in the eggs and whisk together. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and turn the heat down to medium or medium low. Keep folding and stirring the eggs until they are done to your liking.

Serve with toast and enjoy!
