Ingredients

Scale

Beans and Sauce

  • 1 can (15 oz) white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 cup diced fresh tomatoes
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Topping

  • 4 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is ready for baking the eggs on top of the beans.
  2. Prepare the Beans: In an oven-safe skillet or baking dish, combine the drained and rinsed beans with the diced tomatoes and smoked paprika. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir gently to mix all ingredients well.
  3. Heat the Beans: Place the skillet on the stovetop over medium heat and warm the bean mixture for about 5 minutes until heated through and slightly thickened.
  4. Add the Eggs: Create four small wells in the bean mixture using a spoon. Carefully crack one egg into each well, making sure not to break the yolks.
  5. Bake the Eggs: Transfer the skillet or baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny, or cook to your preferred doneness.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your smoky beans with perfectly baked eggs as a savory and nutritious meal.

Notes

  • You can add a splash of olive oil for extra richness when heating the beans.
  • For a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes along with the smoked paprika.
  • If you prefer firmer eggs, bake for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  • Serve with crusty bread or warm tortillas to soak up the sauce.
  • Make sure to use an oven-safe skillet or transfer to a baking dish before baking the eggs.
