Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Halve the 100g cherry tomatoes and thinly slice the 1/2 small red onion. Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt in a small bowl; set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Toast the 2 bread slices until golden and crisp. Keep warm.

  3. Step 3

    In a small pot, warm the 400g baked beans over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until bubbling, about 5 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer, add 1 tbsp white vinegar. Swirl the water, then crack in each of the 2 eggs one at a time; poach for 3 minutes until whites are set but yolks are runny.

  5. Step 5

    Place the toast on plates, spoon the beans over, and top with the tomato-onion mixture and a poached egg.

  6. Step 6

    Garnish with 2 tbsp fresh dill and a crack of black pepper. Serve immediately.
