- Cook the sausage: Sauté the sausage in a skillet until browned, then set aside.
- Sauté vegetables: In the same skillet, cook onion and bell peppers until softened. Add spinach and cook until wilted.
- Prepare the egg mixture: Whisk together eggs, milk, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
