What each ingredient does

Sausage
Provides the savory meat base and fat that flavors the whole dish.
Eggs
Set as they heat, binding the sausage pieces into a thick, soft scramble.

The step that matters

Cook the sausage until fully cooked but not browned. Turning the sausage often over medium heat cooks it through evenly. Browning too fast sets the surface before the centre is done, and the eggs then cook unevenly around the pieces.
