This delicious breakfast is inspired by English beans on toast, but with an Italian twist.

2
 
 
  • 1 tablespoon butter
    •
  • 2 eggs
    •
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    •
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
    •
  • 1 teaspoon minced jalapeno pepper, or more to taste
    •
  • 1 (15.5 ounce) can white beans, drained and rinsed
    •
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    •
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
    •
  • 1 pinch ground turmeric
    •
  • 2 tablespoons pesto
    •
  • Kosher salt to taste
    •
  • 2 slices rye bread, toasted
    •
  • 1 wedge lemon
    •
  • 1/4 teaspoon grated Parmesan cheese
    •
 
  1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Crack eggs into the melted butter and cook to desired firmness, 5 to 7 minutes.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a separate skillet over medium heat; cook the garlic and jalapeno pepper in the hot oil until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir the white beans, 2 tablespoons olive oil, oregano, and turmeric into the garlic mixture; cook and stir until the olive oil is mostly absorbed, about 5 minutes. Stir the pesto into the mixture and remove the skillet from the heat; season with salt. Top each slice of rye toast with about half of the bean mixture. Squeeze the lemon wedge over the beans. Place one of the fried eggs atop each portion and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese to serve.

oh sweet jesus, this was amazing!!!! i did make a few little changes based on my pantry and tastes: a dash of cayenne pepper instead of the jalapeno, thyme instead of turmeric, and i was out of bread for toast. still ABSOLUTELY amazing though!!!! definitely going to make this again!

This was delicious! I didn't have white beans on hand, so I used light red kidney beans, homemade rye bread, and put an extra egg on top of each because we really like our egg yolks. I used about an inch of jalapeno, minced, and it was perfect. I can wait to make this again - I'll be sure to try the white beans some time too! Oh yeah, we ate this for dinner - it's very filling.

This was amazing! I did not have high hopes, and considered not adding the egg. I am so glad I did. I didn't have any jalapenos, so substituted cayenne pepper. I also had to use wheat bread. My husband and daughter loved it too.
