Equipment

  • Large saucepan or pot
  • Frying pan for cooking the eggs
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Toaster or skillet for the bread
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • For the Homemade Beans:
  • 1 cup dried navy beans or your favorite beans
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 cup vegetable broth or water
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • Salt to taste
  • For the Toast and Eggs:
  • 2 slices of your favorite bread sourdough, whole wheat, or white
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil for frying
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs optional, for garnish
  • Hot sauce optional, for extra flavor

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Beans:
  • Start by soaking the dried beans overnight in plenty of water. Drain and rinse before cooking.
  • In a large saucepan or pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking for 3-4 minutes until soft.
  • Stir in the smoked paprika, cumin, and black pepper, cooking for 1 minute.
  • Add the soaked beans, tomato paste, and vegetable broth (or water) to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer uncovered for 1-1.5 hours, or until the beans are tender and the liquid thickens. Add more water if needed.
  • Stir in the apple cider vinegar and season with salt to taste. Keep the beans warm while you prepare the toast and eggs.
  • Prepare the Toast:
  • While the beans are cooking, toast the bread slices until crispy and golden. You can use a toaster or heat a skillet over medium-high heat to toast them.
  • Cook the Sunny Side Up Eggs:
  • In a frying pan, heat the butter or olive oil over medium-low heat.
  • Crack the eggs gently into the pan, one at a time, and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are fully set, but the yolks remain runny. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, carefully remove them from the pan.
  • Assemble the Dish:
  • Place the toasted bread slices on a plate.
  • Spoon a generous amount of the homemade beans onto each piece of toast.
  • Carefully place a sunny side up egg on top of the beans.
  • Serve and Enjoy:
  • Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and drizzle with hot sauce for an added kick. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade breakfast!
