When I was younger I really loved tinned baked beans on toast, but when I stopped eating processed food baked beans came off the menu.

Then I started noticing freshly made baked beans on breakfast menus in cafes and when I tried them I instantly knew this was something I needed to start making at home.

These baked beans have a delicious flavour that can either be eaten with some avocado on crusty sourdough, with a bowl of roast veggies, or my favourite is poaching an egg in them – just put the baked beans in a saucepan, crack an egg in there, put a lid on the pan and wait until the egg is done – yum!
