Notes
Breakfast Sausage: Choose any type of sausage you are comfortable with, even hot Italian sausage or chorizo could be used in place of breakfast sausage.
Hard Salami: Cured salami like genoa is perfect and crisps nicely when pan fried.
Bacon: Some bacon contains more sugar than others, so choose your favourite low sugar bacon for this recipe.
Avoid adding salt to the raw egg mixture to avoid watery eggs.
The meats may have salt of their own so add salt at the end after you have tasted the result.
