Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by rinsing the canned white beans in a colander under cold water, allowing them to drain well. Set the beans aside for later use. While waiting, crack the cage-free organic eggs into individual bowls for easy access and to prevent any shell fragments when adding them to the skillet.
- Slice the garlic cloves thinly and dice half an onion into small pieces. This will help release their flavors as they sauté. Set these aside with your prepared ingredients, ensuring everything is within reach for a smooth cooking process of your Spanish Beans & Eggs.
- In a medium frying pan, heat two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Allow the oil to shimmer, signaling it’s hot enough. Add the sliced garlic and diced onion to the pan, sautéing for about 3 minutes until they turn golden and fragrant, creating a delicious base.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of sweet smoked Spanish paprika, allowing it to bloom for about 30 seconds. This will enhance the aroma and depth of the dish. Next, pour in the 15 oz can of diced tomatoes along with 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped parsley and the diced chives. Cook for another 2 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
- Gently mix in the rinsed white beans and season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 4 to 5 minutes. This step helps the beans absorb the vibrant flavors from the garlic, onion, and tomatoes while heating through perfectly.
- Using a spoon, make small pockets in the bean mixture, creating little wells for the eggs. Carefully slide in the cracked eggs from your bowls into these pockets. Lightly season the exposed egg whites with salt and pepper, allowing them to nestle into the delicious Spanish Beans & Eggs.
- Cover the frying pan with a lid and let it cook for 2 minutes. This will help steam the eggs for a soft and creamy yolk. After 2 minutes, remove the lid and continue cooking for an additional 2 to 4 minutes until the egg whites are set but the yolks still retain a slightly runny texture.
- Once cooked to your liking, remove the pan from the heat. Finish by sprinkling some chopped chives over the top for a fresh touch. Serve your beautiful Spanish Beans & Eggs immediately while it's warm, either on its own or with crusty bread alongside for a delicious brunch or dinner experience.
