Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage link pieces and cook until heated through and browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a baking sheet and cover.
- In the same skillet, throw in the onions and peppers, season with the Montreal steak seasoning and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly charred on the edges, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove to the baking sheet and cover.
- Meanwhile, heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Whisk together the half-and-half, salt, pepper and eggs in a medium bowl until light and airy, 20 to 30 seconds.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in the skillet. Add half of the egg mixture and spin the skillet to make sure the egg is evenly spread. Run a spatula around the edge of the skillet to ensure the eggs aren't sticking. Once the omelet begins to set, 45 to 60 seconds, lift and rotate the skillet slightly, letting the runny eggs go under the edges into the skillet. Use your spatula to lift the edges slightly if needed. Return to the burner and sprinkle half of the cheese onto the omelet. Allow the omelet to sit untouched for an additional 15 to 20 seconds, or until completely set. Slide onto a cutting board and repeat with the remaining butter, egg mixture and cheese. Carefully roll the omelets into a log shape. Slice into six 1-inch pieces.
- Divide the omelet pieces, sausage pieces, peppers and onions among six 12-inch skewers. Serve immediately for a great breakfast on the go.

SPICED GROUND MEAT SKEWERS
These oniony, deeply spiced skewers, made with just about any kind of ground meat, are based on Adana kebabs, which are named for the Turkish city from where they're said to have originated. Adana kebabs are traditionally made from hand-minced lamb that's been larded with lamb tail fat, but the flavors of cumin, red chile flakes and sumac are just as delicious with regular ground lamb, or even ground beef or turkey. The trick to getting a pleasing, springy texture is to knead the meat and seasonings until the mixture feels sticky. Keep everything cold, and then wet your hands when you form the meat around the skewers. Cooking the kebabs over charcoal adds a compelling smokiness, but using the highest heat on your gas grill will also work well.

Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the meat, onion, garlic, cilantro, cumin, sumac, salt, Urfa pepper, black pepper, and cinnamon, if using.
- With your hands, thoroughly knead and massage the meat to incorporate the ingredients, about 4 minutes. Breaking down the meat will create a sticky, cohesive mixture that results in a pleasing springy texture. You can also combine everything in an electric mixer with the paddle attachment, in which case it will take only about 2 minutes. Chill the mixture for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
- Wet your hands with cold water, then divide meat into 6 equal portions and mold each around a metal or soaked bamboo skewer (see Tip). Transfer skewers to a large plate or baking sheet. You can grill them right away at this point, or cover and refrigerate them while preparing the grill (up to 4 hours).
- Heat the grill to high. When the grill is hot, lightly brush the grates with oil, and add the skewers. Cook, rotating them carefully every few minutes, until evenly browned and slightly charred in places, about 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a platter and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with more herbs, sumac and flaky sea salt, and serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the kebabs will taste. Look for fresh, lean ground beef, flavorful vegetables, and aromatic spices.
- Season the ground beef well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of spices and herbs to flavor the ground beef. Common seasonings for Roman kebabs include garlic, onion, cumin, coriander, and paprika.
- Chill the ground beef mixture before shaping it: This will help the kebabs hold their shape better when they're cooking.
- Shape the kebabs evenly: Use a consistent size and shape for your kebabs so that they cook evenly.
- Cook the kebabs over medium heat: This will help them cook through without burning the outside.
- Turn the kebabs frequently: This will help them cook evenly on all sides.
- Don't overcook the kebabs: Overcooked kebabs will be dry and tough. Cook them just until they're cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
- Serve the kebabs immediately: Roman kebabs are best served hot off the grill. They can be eaten on their own, with rice or pita bread, or as part of a larger meal.
Conclusion:
Roman kebabs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for a quick weeknight meal, a backyard barbecue, or a party.
