This British take on a shakshuka is one of my favourite weekend brunches. It’s so simple and uses everyday ‘breakfast’ ingredients you’ll likely have in, and makes a nice change from a fry up or eggs on toast etc. All you need is one pan and 10 minutes to whip up this treat of a breakfast!
It’s a combination of fried onions, sausage, tomatoes and a soft yolk ‘poached’ egg all cooked in the same pan – perfect for dipping in toast, crumpets or English muffins. Choose your favourite sausages for this recipe, as they add so much to the final dish. I tend to choose caramelised onion ones – and really like the ones from M&S and Aldi.
How to make my favourite Caramelised onion sausage, egg & tomato shakshuka style ‘brunch’

1. For this recipe you’ll need (if serving 1) 1/4 of an onion – red or white is fine, 2 sausages, 1 egg, 200g tinned tomatoes, butter and a dash or Worcester sauce. If you’re scaling this up to serve 2 people, just double it.
2. Finely chop your onion and make small balls from the sausage meat (squeeze it out of its casing)
3. Then, heat butter in your saucepan and add in the onion and sausage meat
4. Cook until the onion and sausage have begun to brown, stirring often – for about 5 minutes
5. Then pour in the tinned tomatoes, and a dash or Worcester sauce (roughly 1 tbsp), the Worcester sauce is optional but brings a nice richness
6. Then crack your egg into the center, moving any pieces of sausage to the side and ensuring there is enough tomato to cover the base of the pan (if not, add a little more – you don’t want the egg to stick to the bottom of your pan so it needs a layer of tomato juice under it)
7. Cover the pan with a lid if you have one to allow the egg to cook evenly, turning the heat to a low/medium – cook until the white is cooked through
8. Meanwhile, cook any toast or crumpets you fancy
9. Then, once the egg is cooked to your liking, top it with any herbs, salt and pepper you fancy – serve and enjoy!

- Then, pour in the tinned tomatoes with a dash of Worcester sauce - stir to mix everything then make space in the middle of the pan by moving the sausage pieces around the egges
- Keeping a layer of tomato sauce in the center - crack your egg in and then cover with a lid if you have one to cook the white of the egg through. this usually takes 3-4 minutes but depends on your pan and how well done you'd like your yolk.
