I learned this with a friend from England! No one will believe what you made with the beans

baked beans

🥗Healthier: homemade bean mix

💰Cheaper: canned lentils

Canned lentils are often cheaper and provide similar texture.

bread

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: white bread

Whole grain bread offers more fiber and nutrients.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier while margarine is often less expensive.

eggs

🥗Healthier: egg substitute

💰Cheaper: tofu scramble

Tofu scramble offers a plant-based alternative.

Add 500 g of cooked beans to a bowl with 5 eggs.

Using a whisk, beat everything together very well until combined.

Season the mixture with 1 teaspoon of salt and a pinch of black pepper, then mix again until incorporated.

In a large baking tin, add 6 slices of bread, covering the whole bottom.

Pour the bean mixture over the bread and spread it evenly.

Add 200 g of shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

Add 150 g of shredded cheddar cheese on top.

Take the baking tin to a preheated oven at 180° C (350° F) and bake for 35 minutes, keeping an eye on it as the time may vary depending on the power of your oven.

Once baked, serve and enjoy.
