Method
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat (175°C/350°F).
Add the pork sausage chunks to the pan and brown them for 3 minutes, then remove them and set aside in a bowl.
Place the chopped scallions and sliced mushrooms into the same pan and cook for 4 minutes until softened.
Add the crushed garlic to the pan and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Return the sausages to the pan and add the cherry tomatoes and baked beans. Simmer for 20 minutes.
Create four indentations in the bean mixture and crack one egg into each space.
Cover the pan with a lid and steam the eggs for 7 minutes or until the whites are set.
Dust the eggs with smoked paprika and sprinkle the crumbled feta and chopped parsley over the pan.
Divide the mixture into four bowls and serve immediately.
Chef's Notes
- Ensure pork sausages reach an internal temperature of 71°C/160°F for safety.
- If using thick-cut sausages, increase the initial browning time to ensure even cooking.
Storage
Refrigerator: 3 days — Store in an airtight container; eggs may become rubbery upon reheating.
Reheating: Microwave on medium power until heated through, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Troubleshooting
Egg yolks are hard and overcooked
Cause: Steaming time was too long or heat was too high.
Fix: Cannot be fixed.
Prevention: Check the eggs at the 5-minute mark; they continue to cook slightly after the heat is turned off.
The mixture is sticking to the bottom of the pan
Cause: The heat was too high during the 20-minute simmer.
Fix: Add a splash of water or stock to loosen the sauce.
Prevention: Ensure the heat is set to low-medium and stir the beans occasionally before adding the eggs.
Cultural Context
This one-pan breakfast bowl is a modern take on a traditional British "Full English" breakfast, adapted for convenience and a slightly lighter, yet still hearty, meal. It incorporates classic elements like sausage and beans, reimagined in a single-pan format suitable for busy mornings.
