Main Ingredients
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 pieces breakfast sausages
  • 4 rashers bacon
  • 1 can baked beans
  • 2 pieces tomatoes, halved
  • 4 slices bread
  • to taste olive oil
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • for garnish fresh herbs (like parsley or chives)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Add a little olive oil and cook the sausages until browned and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, cook the bacon until crisp and golden, about 5-7 minutes. Place on a paper towel-lined plate.
  4. In the same pan, place the halved tomatoes cut side down and cook for about 3-4 minutes until softened. Remove and set aside.
  5. In a saucepan, gently heat the canned baked beans over low heat, stirring until hot.
  6. In an oven-safe baking dish, arrange the cooked sausages, bacon, and tomatoes, then pour the baked beans over the top.
  7. Make four small wells in the mixture and crack an egg into each well. Season with salt and pepper.
  8. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until egg whites are set but yolks are still runny.
  9. While the eggs are baking, toast the slices of bread until golden brown.
  10. Once done, remove the dish from the oven, sprinkle with fresh herbs, and serve immediately with toast on the side.

Notes

For leftovers, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at a low temperature. For freezing, it's best to separate components since baked eggs may not reheat well.
