......and eat!

Bon appetit!

Cheesy Beans & Poached Egg

 

 Comfort food for this icy snap, sure - but with a little twist of my own! I've used butter beans - approximately 2 handfuls - in a simple tomato sauce of passata, tomato purée, a little water, S+P and sugar to taste, and then thickened with instant cheese sauce granules. Pile on to thick buttered toast, sprinkle with mature cheddar, under the grill to melt the cheese and top with a poached egg. 

 Lunchtime or Supper - take your pick!
