Old fashioned curried eggs and sausages made with traditional curry powder and apple is a simple, budget-friendly meal that comes together quickly with pantry staples, yet feels hearty and satisfying. Served with rice, this old fashioned favourite is a warm and nourishing dinner the whole family will love.
There's something deeply nostalgic about curried sausages. Maybe it's the way the curry spices mellow into a rich, creamy sauce make with milk, the hint of sweetness from the apple, or how it turns a simple pack of sausages into a hearty, crowd-pleasing meal.
Adding eggs is a great way to stretch the meal, adding a little extra protein-perfect for growing kids or big appetites. If you're like us and own your own chickens, it's a great way to use up a glut of eggs!
This heirloom recipe was passed down from my father to me. It's an adaption of the original recipe 'Curried Eggs' which featured in a vintage edition of the Bundaberg Branch Country Women's Association Cookery Book.
You'll love how the eggs soak up all the curry flavour and bring a creamy richness that complements the sausages beautifully.
This recipe is one of those "midweek miracles"-easy to make, budget-friendly, and deeply satisfying. Whether you're feeding little ones, prepping ahead, or just want something cosy in a bowl, curried sausages and eggs ticks all the boxes.

A great way to turn plain old sausages into a delicious meal. I especially like the tangy flavour of the apple.
