Cut the onion in half, peel it and cut it into 2-3mm (just under ⅛") thick half-moon shapes.
Slice the black pudding into 1½cm (Just over ½") thick chunks.
Heat a 25cm (10") pan over a medium-high heat and add one tablespoon of cooking oil. Brown the sausages all over, and then remove them and set them aside. Don't worry about cooking the sausages all the way through.
Add the onions and bacon lardons, then cook for 4-5 minutes or until the onions begin to soften.
Toss in the black pudding, and cook until it begins to crisp up. This will take 2-3 minutes.
Add the baked beans, tinned tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, beef stock, dried sage, thyme and rosemary, give everything a stir. Have a taste here and add a little salt if you think it is needed; it shouldn't be.
Cut the sausages into bite-sized pieces, reduce the heat to low and add a lid, then cook for 5-7 minutes.
Remove the lid from the pan and using a ladle, form 2 "dents" in the stew, crack in the eggs and sprinkle a little salt and pepper over them, return the lid and cook until the eggs are just set.
