Ingredients:

1 lb Breakfast Sausage (ground fresh, your favorite)

2/3 cup Fresh Apple Cider

1 medium Butternut Squash, peeled and diced small

1 Fuji Apple, peeled & chopped

½ large Sweet Onion, chopped

3 cloves Garlic, minced

2 leaves Kale, stemmed and rough chopped

¼-½ tsp Nutmeg

Sea Salt & Pepper to taste

Directions:

Heat large heavy skillet to medium high heat, add sausage and brown. Remove sausage from skillet and drain grease on paper towel. Set aside. Add 1/3 cup Apple Cider to deglaze pan and reduce by half. Add squash, apple, onion, garlic and remaining 1/3 cup apple cider. Continue to sauté stirring constantly, about 2 minutes. Add sausage back in and kale, continue to sauté until tender. Add more apple cider if necessary to avoid burning contents, ¼ cup at a time. Stir in nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste. Sauté until desired tenderness.

Serving suggestions: Serve immediately or add poached or fried egg on top.

Optional: Serve with 1 Tbsp butter or spray butter before serving.
