Ingredients

1 cup salt reduced baked beans; sauce drained  

2 eggs  

2 slices lower carb or low GI bread  

Chopped fresh herbs for garnish (optional)  

Method

  1. Add baked beans to a large saucepan or small frypan. Let it simmer for a few minutes until heated through. 
  2. Using a spoon, make little wells in the beans and crack an egg into each one. 
  3. Cover the pan with a lid and let it simmer on low heat for about 5–7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but yolks are still runny (or to your liking). 
  4. Whilst eggs are cooking toast the bread. Cut into ‘fingers’. 
  5. Once eggs are cooked, sprinkle with chopped herbs and a twist of black pepper. 
  6. Spoon evenly onto 2 plates. Serve with toast ‘fingers’ on the side for dipping.
