Chakalaka-Style Bean Skillet with Eggs

Quick & Easy

One-pan baked beans cooked with sautéed pepper and onion, finished with eggs steamed right in the sauce.

Why smarter

Timing is realistic: 4–5 min to chop, 1 min to heat pan, 5–6 min to sauté, 3 min to heat beans, 5–6 min to steam eggs covered, 1 min to plate.

Chef tip

For faster, more even egg setting, keep the skillet at a gentle simmer before adding the eggs and cover tightly. Shortcut: Use canned baked beans (store-bought).
