Ingredients
Beans Mixture
- 2 cups cooked beans (such as cannellini or navy beans)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Topping
- 4 large eggs
Instructions
- Heat the Beans: In a baking-safe skillet or ovenproof dish, combine the cooked beans, diced tomatoes, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Warm the mixture over medium heat on the stovetop for about 5 minutes, stirring gently to mix flavors evenly.
- Prepare to Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the beans are heated through, spread them evenly in the dish to create a flat base for the eggs.
- Add the Eggs: Crack the eggs carefully on top of the beans, spacing them evenly apart. Be cautious not to break the yolks to keep the eggs intact for a beautiful presentation.
- Bake the Dish: Transfer the dish to the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain slightly runny. Adjust baking time according to your preferred level of egg doneness.
- Serve: Remove from oven and allow to cool for a minute. Serve warm, optionally garnishing with fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil.
Notes
- You can use canned beans if short on time; just rinse and drain them well before heating.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of chili flakes along with the smoked paprika.
- Serve with crusty bread or toast to soak up the delicious sauce.
- Adjust baking time to cook eggs according to preference: shorter for runny yolks, longer for fully set eggs.
