Thanks so much, Melanie! You’ll have to make this and tell me what you think. The tomato salad on top is a tasty addition for sure!

I’m also a foodie and I just started actually cooking rather than just pay for meals. I live in England and I will definitely use tomatoes in my next beans on toast. xx

Definitely not TMI, as I’ll be speaking in a British accent the next time I make it, lol!

Glad you enjoyed it! It’s a lot of different flavors going on, but they somehow come together for a tasty, unique dish.

Just wanted you to know that I made this recipe! 🙂

Here were my variations: first, yesterday, I baked a loaf of No Knead Bread à la Mark Bittman from the NY Times (the variation he uses is that he adds an additional 1/4 t. of yeast and 1/4 t. vinegar, and these additions speed up the rising time. Takes it from needing 12-18 hours of rising time down to 4 hours of rising time.) Turned out like a loaf of Tuscan bread from Provence. Used that nice crusty bread for my toast.

Then, since money’s tight, I cooked a big pot of Great Northern Beans yesterday, because I didn’t have any navy beans on hand. To them, while they were cooking, I added a couple of smashed garlic cloves, a big bay leaf, and a mire-poix of sautéed carrot, onion and celery.

Did that yesterday, so that tonight, I prepared the beans as your recipe suggested, and toasted my yummy homemade bread.

I admit, the first couple of bites were a bit weird, but the egg yolk was so nice overtop of those beans, and the tomatoes and parsley were a nice touch. They still strike me as a bit weird, but, I’m glad they were there.

Two thumbs up!

I just might make this again!

Then

It really is. It’s so filling without being a ton of food and the flavors are incredible.

I hope you enjoy. I sure did! Yes, I really like the magazine. It’s one of the few that I save every issue. They do a snapshot of all the recipes inside, so it’s easy to find something later. My mom has the subscription and passes them on to me when she’s done. 😉

1) It looks affordable. Yay!
2) It looks British.
3) I have dried navy beans in the pantry.
4) I think I will make this.

😀 Thanks for posting. Do you like the Food Network mag? I have a $15.00 gift certificate from magazines.com, and their magazine was pretty low in price, and one where I wouldn’t really have to make up much in terms of my own money.

I would love to make this for breakfast one morning 🙂
