Ingredients

Scale

Beans and Sauce

  • 2 cups cooked beans (such as cannellini or navy beans)
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Eggs

  • 4 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sauce: Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic; sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Pour in diced tomatoes and add smoked paprika. Stir well and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to blend flavors.
  2. Add beans: Stir in the cooked beans. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste. Let everything simmer together for another 5 minutes until heated through and slightly thickened.
  3. Crack eggs: Make four small wells in the bean mixture and carefully crack one egg into each well.
  4. Bake eggs: Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C). Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny, or bake longer if you prefer firmer yolks.
  5. Serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and enjoy your smoky baked eggs with beans.

Notes

  • Use an oven-safe skillet such as cast iron for best results when transitioning from stovetop to oven.
  • You can substitute canned beans with freshly cooked beans to control salt content.
  • Adjust the amount of smoked paprika based on your preferred level of smokiness.
  • To make it vegan, omit eggs and add sautéed mushrooms or tofu.
  • Serve with crusty bread or warm tortillas for a satisfying meal.
