Easy Homemade Baked Beans on Toast

These easy homemade baked beans on toast make the perfect savoury breakfast. They’re really delicious, wholesome and nothing like the syrupy beans you would get out of a can. The purpose of this recipe is not to replicate the canned baked beans, but rather to create a more savoury or more ‘gourmet’ version of classic baked beans.

The tomato sauce is flavoured with smoked paprika and cumin. This makes it rich, flavourful and umami-forward. The depth of the sauce is balanced with some fresh parsley and spring onion. Once baked, the butter beans are really creamy. However, my favourite thing is when the tomato sauce of the baked beans is soaked up by the sourdough bread. This makes my mouth water just thinking about it!

For this recipe you will need just a few simple, affordable ingredients. To prepare the beans there is about 5-10 minutes of “hands-on” work. Once the beans are in the oven you will have 15 minutes to prepare coffee and take a shower or clear your emails while waiting for your breakfast to cook.

If you love a savoury breakfast, then you’ll also love these recipes:
