Gather @bell pepper{5}, @smoked sausage{200%g}, @sweet paprika{1%tbsp}, @egg{3} and @salt{}.

Render the @lard{2%tbsp} in a wide skillet, brown the sausage coins, and set them aside.

Soften the @onion{1} in the same fat over medium heat, about 5 minutes. ~{5%minutes}

Pull the pan off the heat and stir in the paprika, then return the peppers and cook, stirring, until they begin to soften, about 8 minutes. ~{8%minutes}

Add the @tomato{4}, cover, and simmer until the vegetables collapse into a loose stew, about 12 minutes. ~{12%minutes}

Return the sausage to the pan and warm through.

Pour the beaten eggs over the top and stir gently just until softly set, then serve at once with bread.
