Sujuk with Eggs: The Nine-Dollar Skillet Worth Waking Up For
A plain answer on sujuk with eggs, the $9 breakfast skillet at Khashoka in Richardson, covering the spiced sausage, why it works with eggs, and what to order alongside it.
What is sujuk with eggs?
Sujuk with eggs is a skillet of spiced sausage cooked with sunny-side eggs, served straight from the pan. At Khashoka in Richardson it's $9, listed on the menu as sujuk pieces and eggs, and it lands on the table as one shared skillet rather than a plate portioned out for one person.
Sujuk itself is a spiced sausage built on garlic, cumin, and paprika, cured and sliced before it hits the pan. The sausage renders its fat as it cooks, and that fat is what the eggs go into next, so the whites pick up flecks of red-brown spice from the meat before they even set.
Why sujuk works at breakfast (and beyond)
The reason sujuk and eggs share a pan across the Levant isn't tradition for tradition's sake. It's a pairing that solves a real problem: sujuk is dense, salty, and heavily spiced, and a plain egg cooked sunny-side up brings something bright and mild to sit next to it. The yolk, broken over the sausage, works almost like a sauce, cutting the spice instead of piling on top of it.
That's also why the dish moves easily between breakfast and mezze. It sits fine on a morning table next to labneh and olives, and it sits just as fine mid-afternoon next to a plate of fresh vegetables. The sausage doesn't ask for a specific hour.
Khashoka's kitchen leans on imported pantry basics to get that spice profile right. As the owner told FOX 4, the restaurant is "the only restaurant in DFW that imports almost everything from Jordan to maintain the authenticity of our food." That claim tracks with what the owner told a different outlet covering DFW's World Cup-season restaurant scene: about 90 percent of the spices, olive oil, and sesame sauce used in the kitchen come from Jordan, as reported by NBC DFW. Sujuk's spice mix is part of that same pantry, not a shortcut stocked from a generic supplier.
How to order at Khashoka
Sujuk with Eggs is $9 on the full menu, under Home Made Pans. It's meant for the table, not a single eater, so plan on it as one dish among a few rather than a solo plate.
Khashoka takes pickup orders through Tabit, with prep running around 35 minutes. The restaurant is at 1057 S Sherman St in Richardson, open Sunday through Thursday 9AM to 10PM and Friday through Saturday 9AM to 11PM. If you're planning a bigger breakfast for a group instead of a pickup order for one table, catering with Khashoka is worth a call.
What pairs with it
A sujuk skillet doesn't want to sit alone on the table. Hummus Khashoka, hummus folded with tomatoes, pickles, and parsley at $8, gives you something cool and acidic to break up the richness of the sausage. Labneh does similar work from the other direction, thick and tangy instead of bright.
If you'd rather stay on the pans side of the menu, Sujuk with Vegetables ($9) uses the same sausage cooked into vegetables instead of eggs, which is worth knowing if someone at the table wants the sausage without the egg. Spicy Potato ($9) adds garlic, hot pepper, and lemon juice if the table wants more heat than the sujuk alone brings. For bread, the Wild Zaatar & Cheese Pie manakish ($8) gives you something to tear and use for scooping instead of relying on the fork.
None of this is a set combination Khashoka prints on the menu. It's how a Jordanian breakfast table actually gets built: one skillet, a couple of mezze plates, bread, and everyone reaching in with a spoon or a torn piece of bread instead of a fork staying on one plate.
Frequently asked questions
Is sujuk with eggs spicy?
Sujuk carries garlic, cumin, and paprika, so it reads warm and savory rather than hot. The heat level depends on the paprika used in the sausage itself, not on any sauce added at the table. If you want more heat at breakfast, Spicy Potato ($9) on the same Home Made Pans section brings garlic and hot pepper without touching the sujuk pan.
Can I order sujuk with eggs for one person?
You can order it solo, but it comes to the table as a shared skillet, not a plated single portion. Most tables order it alongside one or two mezze items, like labneh or olives, so there is something to scoop the eggs and sausage with beyond bread alone.
What's the difference between Sujuk with Eggs and Sujuk with Vegetables?
Both are $9 and both start from the same sausage. Sujuk with Eggs pairs the sausage with sunny-side eggs cooked in the same pan; Sujuk with Vegetables swaps the eggs for a mix of vegetables cooked into the sausage instead. Same sausage, two different skillets.
