Egg-in-a-Hole Chicken Sausage: Spiced Breakfast Treat


A Continental-inspired twist on a comforting breakfast classic, this Egg-in-a-Hole Chicken Sausage combines lean minced chicken shaped into a sausage with a soft-cooked egg tucked into its centre. Seasoned with zesty chaat masala and black pepper, and studded with fresh capsicum and tomato, it makes a satisfying morning meal. Serve it with a simple green salad and a dollop of ketchup on the side.

Ingredients

  • Minced chicken

    400 g
  • Ginger-garlic paste

    1 tbsp
  • Butter

    1 tbsp + 1 tsp
  • Sunrise Chaat Masala

    1 tsp + 1/2 tsp
  • Sunrise Kali Mirch Powder

    1 tsp + 1/2 tsp
  • Salt

    to taste
  • Eggs

    2
  • Capsicum (diced)

    1/4 cup
  • Tomatoes (diced)

    1/4 cup
  • Green salad leaves (lettuce, cucumber, carrots)

    For garnishing
  • Tomato ketchup

    For serving
  • Aluminium foil

    For shaping sausages

Sunrise tip: For a cheesier version, add a slice of cheese under the egg. The heat will melt it into a gooey layer.

 

Steps

Step 1: Cook the chicken mixture

Time: 5 minutes

Heat 1 tbsp butter in a pan. Add the minced chicken and ginger-garlic paste. Sauté until the raw smell disappears. Mix in 1 tsp Sunrise Chaat Masala, 1 tsp Sunrise Kali Mirch Powder, and salt. Stir well and cook for 1 minute more. Remove from heat.

 

Step 2: Shape the chicken sausages

Time: 3 minutes

Lay a sheet of foil on a plate. Spoon the cooked chicken onto it and roll the foil over to form a tight sausage shape. Twist the ends to seal. Repeat to make 2 sausages.

 

Step 3: Steam the sausages

Time: 7 minutes

Bring some water to a simmer in a pan. Place the foil-wrapped sausages in the water, cover, and steam over medium-low heat for 5-7 minutes. Lift out the parcels and let cool slightly. Unwrap carefully.

 

Step 4: Add the egg filling

Time: 5 minutes

Slice each sausage lengthwise all the way through, to create a hole through the sausages. Heat 1 tsp butter in a clean pan and place the sausages neatly, making sure to keep the slit open as a gaping hole. Crack 1 egg into each hole. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp each of Sunrise Chaat Masala, Sunrise Kali Mirch Powder, a pinch of salt, and the diced veggies. Cook until the egg is done to your liking.

 

Step 5: Garnish and serve

Transfer the sausages to serving plates. Arrange some salad leaves alongside. Serve hot, with ketchup on the side for dipping.
