Ingredients:

  • 1 can (415g) British Baked Beans
  • 2 thick slices (80g) Sourdough bread
  • 1 tbsp (14g) Unsalted Butter, divided
  • 1 tsp (5ml) Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1/4 tsp Cracked Black Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5g) Smoked Paprika
  • 1/4 cup (25g) Sharp Cheddar Cheese, grated
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Chives or Parsley, finely chopped

Instructions:

  1. Place the baked beans in a small non-stick saucepan over medium-low heat. Simmer gently for 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently with a silicone spatula until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  2. While the beans simmer, toast the sourdough slices until deeply golden brown. Immediately spread half of the butter (7g) across both slices to create a fat barrier.
  3. Remove the beans from the heat. Stir in the remaining butter, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and smoked paprika until the butter is fully emulsified into the sauce.
  4. Place the buttered toast on plates and pour the hot bean mixture over the center. Top immediately with grated sharp cheddar cheese and garnished with chopped chives or parsley.
