Ingredients

Scale

For the 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 black pepper to taste

For the Baked Eggs

  • 4 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bean Sauce: Heat olive oil in an oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add finely chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in diced tomatoes, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer gently for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  2. Add the Beans: Stir cooked beans into the tomato sauce, making sure they are well coated. Continue to simmer the mixture for another 5 minutes to heat through and thicken slightly.
  3. Top with Eggs: Make four small wells in the bean mixture and carefully crack an egg into each well. Season the eggs lightly with salt and pepper.
  4. Bake the Dish: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your desired doneness with firm whites and slightly runny yolks.
  5. Serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Spoon the smoky beans and baked eggs onto plates and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Use an oven-proof skillet or transfer the bean mixture to a baking dish before adding eggs if you don’t have one.
  • You can substitute smoked paprika with chipotle powder for a spicier smoky flavor.
  • For a vegan version, omit eggs and top with sautéed mushrooms or tofu.
  • This dish pairs well with crusty bread or warm tortillas for dipping.
