This hearty recipe combines simple ingredients and a straightforward cooking method to create a satisfying breakfast or brunch option with smoky depth and savory richness.

Ingredients

Scale

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
