Breakfast skillets are one of those meals that feel indulgent but come together in a single pan with almost no fuss, and this one delivers big on both flavor and staying power. Smoky, crumbled pork sausage mingles with sweet bell peppers, onion, garlic, and a hit of smoked paprika and cumin, building a deeply savory base before the eggs ever hit the pan. The trick of nestling six eggs right into the sausage mixture and finishing everything in the oven means the whites set perfectly while the yolks stay just a little jammy — no juggling multiple pans or timing nightmares. One of the trickiest parts of eating this way is finding sausage that doesn't sneak in sugar or off-plan fillers, so sourcing a sugar-free, uncured ground pork is the key move that keeps this dish fully compliant. Everything else — olive oil, fresh vegetables, canned tomatoes, eggs — is straightforward and easy to verify. It serves four generously straight from the skillet, which makes it just as practical for a relaxed weekend brunch as it is for weekday meal prep. A scatter of fresh parsley at the end brightens the whole thing up and makes it look like you actually tried.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a 12-inch oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon, for 6–8 minutes until browned throughout with no pink remaining and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Transfer the sausage to a plate and set aside, leaving any rendered fat in the skillet.
