Recipe for one to two people

Ingredients
Here’s what I used—notes on how to use what you’ve got/what you love:

• 1 can cannellini beans (or any other bean that you enjoy—personally, I wouldn’t use chickpeas here. They’re too firm)

• 2 red scallions, chopped (or any combo of onions—shallots, red onion, yellow onion would all be great here)

• Smoked paprika and garlic powder (or seasonings of your choice—if you don’t like things smoky, skip the paprika. You could even add something like cumin here. Garam Masala would be a fun one and add a hint of sweetness. Burlap & Barrel make some of my favorite spices and they source all of their spices directly from farmer cooperatives and small farms.

• 1-2 cloves of garlic, grated on a microplane

• Nutritional yeast, about 1/2 a cup or a little more for cheesier taste

• EVOO, S&P

• 1-4 Eggs, depending upon your hunger level and number of people you’re serving (up to two with this one)

How to make it

1. Heat a pan or small dutch oven with a bit of olive oil (let’s say 1 Tbsp)

2. Toss in your scallions or whatever onion variety you’re using and sprinkle with a good punch of salt and a good crack of pepper. Sauté over medium heat for a few minutes until softened. It’s ok if they brown a bit, but we’re not really looking for much caramelization here.

3. Once the onions are softened, toss in your can of beans with the liquid and season with pinch of salt and crack of pepper + your spices. Add a splash of water (just fill your bean can with some water and toss it in)

4. Let that all simmer for a few minutes and then stir in your nutritional yeast + your grated garlic.

5. Let simmer on low until thickened and meanwhile make your eggs (if topping your dish with them) any way you’d like.

6. Remove beans from heat, plate, and top with your eggs.

7. Enjoy for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
