Protein-packed, fiber-rich dish for a delicious breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients:
  • 250 g mixed-colour ripe cherry tomatoes
  • ½ a lemon
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 sprigs of fresh basil
  • 1 x 400 g tin of cannellini beans
  • 1 good pinch of fennel seeds
  • 2 large free-range eggs
  • 2 slices of seeded wholemeal bread
  • 2 heaped teaspoons ricotta cheese
  • thick balsamic vinegar optional
  • hot chilli sauce optional
Instructions:
  • Halve the tomatoes and place them in a bowl. Add lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of oil, and a pinch of sea salt. Tear the basil leaves and mix them in, reserving smaller ones for garnish. Set aside to marinate. Heat a non-stick frying pan on high heat. Drain the beans and add them to the hot pan with fennel seeds and black pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, shaking occasionally until they char and pop open. Pour the marinated tomatoes into the pan with 100ml of water. Season and let it bubble vigorously for 1 minute. Crack an egg on each side, cover, and cook on medium-low heat for 3 to 4 minutes for soft eggs. Toast the bread. Spread ricotta on the toast and serve with the baked eggs and beans. Garnish with reserved basil leaves. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and/or hot chilli sauce before serving. Enjoy!
