Ingredients
  • 1 pouch Merchant Gourmet Gourmet Baked Beans
  • 2 Italian-style sausages
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 red pepper, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, sliced
  • 1 x 400g tin chopped tomatoes
  • 2 eggs
  • Small handful of fresh basil
  • 20-30g Parmesan, shaved
  • Sourdough, to serve
  • Olive oil
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C / 160°C fan / Gas Mark 4.
  2. Remove the sausage meat from the skins. Heat a little olive oil in an ovenproof frying pan over a medium heat, then cook the sausage meat, breaking it up with a spoon until browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. Add the onion, red pepper and garlic to the same pan. Season with salt and black pepper, then cook for 5-6 minutes until softened.
  4. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes. Add the Merchant Gourmet Gourmet Baked Beans and return the sausage meat to the pan. If needed, add a splash of water until the sauce is thick but spoonable.
  5. Make two wells in the mixture and crack in the eggs. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still soft.
  6. Meanwhile, toast the sourdough in a little olive oil until golden.
  7. Scatter over the basil leaves, shaved Parmesan and a generous grind of black pepper. Serve immediately with the toasted sourdough.
