Recipe Instructions:

Heat Beans:
- Begin by heating the canned beans either on the stove or in the microwave according to your preference. Ensure they are heated through but not overly hot.
-
Fry Eggs:
- In a skillet, melt a small amount of low-fat margarine. Smart Balance is an excellent choice as it contains no trans fatty acids, contributing to a healthier breakfast option.
- Crack the eggs into the skillet and fry them over low to medium heat. For the best taste experience, aim for over-easy eggs, allowing the yolk to remain slightly runny. This adds a marvelous richness to the sandwich.
-
Assemble the Sandwich:
- Toast the slices of bread to your desired level of crispiness.
- Once toasted, place a fried egg onto each slice of toast.
- Spoon the heated beans generously over the eggs, distributing them evenly.
- Complete the sandwich by placing the remaining slice of toast on top.
- While traditionally referred to as a “sandwich,” it’s recommended to enjoy this meal with a knife and fork to minimize messiness.
Tips:
- Experiment with different varieties of beans to customize the flavor of your sandwich. From classic baked beans to savory black beans, the options are endless.
- For an extra indulgent touch, sprinkle shredded cheese over the beans before adding the top slice of toast. The melted cheese adds a creamy texture and delicious flavor.
- Pair your Grandad’s Breakfast Bean “Samich” with a side of fresh fruit or a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice for a well-balanced breakfast.
- Don’t limit yourself to just breakfast! This versatile dish can also be enjoyed for brunch, lunch, or a hearty snack any time of the day.
