Method
Add the tins of bean salad and tomatoes to a shallow casserole dish or ovenproof skillet and allow to simmer for 10 minutes, until reduced.
Stir in the baby spinach, then cook until wilted. This should take around 5 minutes.
Pre heat the grill on medium and use the back of a spoon to make four dimples in the tomato and bean mixture.
Crack one egg into each indentation, then scatter the ham throughout the mixture.
Grill your beany eggs for 5 minutes, or until the whites are cooked and the yolks are runny.
Plate up, alongside your favourite bread, for a hearty lunch or dinner that’s full of flavour. For a planet-friendly tip, toast leftover bread – it tastes just as good toasted and means that less goes to waste.
