Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Sauté chopped onion and garlic until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Add canned baked beans and any additional ingredients like chopped chilli, Tabasco sauce, or curry powder to the skillet.

Stir in any additional spices or vegetables you prefer.

Simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes until heated through.

While the beans are simmering, toast the whole grain bread until golden brown.

For a twist, consider making French toast by soaking bread in a mixture of beaten egg and milk, then frying in butter.

Remove the beans from heat and stir in any optional ingredients like cheese or cooked meat.

Serve the baked beans over the toasted bread or as a sandwich.

Garnish with additional parsley or other toppings if desired.
