British cuisine is so depressing
It’s the economical choice
Here’s my variant: make some toast, butter it, then cut it into 1 inch squares. Now mix together in a bowl the toast squares, a tin of baked beans, shredded tasty cheese, and any other flavour enhancers of your choice. Any type of hot sauce is great, wholegrain mustard can also work.
Throw the whole bowl in the microwave for 1-2mins and you’ve got a delicious bowl of cheesey, spicy, beany, bready, buttery goodness. The saucy toast won’t be to everyone’s taste but I love it. It’s my go-to lunch meal when working from home.
If you want to take it to another level you can grill some cheap sausages, slice them up and throw them in the mix as well!
Follow up comment. I’ve just realised, this is British nachos. The toast is the corn chips. The beans are both salsa and frijoles. The cheese is… cheese.
i’ve had toast, and I’ve had beans, but I dont think I’ve had “beans on toast”. is it prepared any special way?
It’s an art form. https://youtu.be/jI4J89a1kxY
Try a bit of grated cheese on top and give it a minute under the grill. It’s good stuff
Yessssss. With a tiny splash of Worcestershire sauce.
…UNDER the grill? Do you mean in the charcoal or on the grass? Either way, sounds bad 😛
I interpreted that as broil in the oven? Under the element?
Ah yes, the official breakfast of diarrhea by lunchtime.
I thought this was going to be a bean poem when I read means and beans
Chat GPT to the rescue:
On a plate, golden and round, Beans on toast, a comforting sound. The bread toasted, warm and crisp, Beans piled high, a hearty bliss.
The aroma dances, fills the air, A simple dish, beyond compare. Tangy beans, a savory delight, With each bite, pure culinary might.
From humble ingredients it’s made, A classic meal, never to fade. A satisfying symphony, flavor divine, Beans on toast, forever in my rhyme.
It’s beautiful 🥲
Ii tried this once out of boredom.
It sucks.
Not a big tea fan (I don’t mind i, I just prefer coffee as a hot beverage/caffeine delivery method), but I LOVE beans on toast! So simple yet so delicious!
I prefer refried beans on a tortilla, but baked beans on toast are a pretty solid option
