Then using a cutting board chop 20 grams (about 1 Tablespoon) of green onions.

Afterwards, grate 40 grams of pizza mozzarella.

Weigh out 60 grams of oven roasted tomatoes cherry/grape tomatoes. If you do not have oven roasted tomatoes, you can use raw tomatoes or even sun dried tomatoes. Just cut them into small pieces. Alternatively, you can use diced bell pepper.

Once you have all your ingredients ready, add them to the bowl of eggs.

Finally, add in the salt and pepper and whisk until combined.

By this point, the sausage meat should be ready to remove from the oven. Let cool for a couple of minutes.
