Tomato, White Bean and Egg Skillet
This Tomato, White Bean and Egg Skillet is the kind of rustic, comforting dish that feels both nourishing and effortless. Everything comes together in one pan, creating a meal that’s rich in flavour yet made from simple, everyday ingredients. Juicy tomatoes break down into a light, savoury sauce, white beans add heartiness, and eggs gently set on top to create a satisfying, protein-rich finish. The addition of toasted bread and Parmesan gives the dish a subtle crunch and depth that makes it feel extra comforting and complete.
This is a perfect recipe for breakfast-for-dinner, a relaxed weekend brunch, or an easy midweek meal when you want something warm and grounding without spending hours in the kitchen. It’s balanced, filling, and flexible, equally delicious served straight from the pan or finished with fresh basil for a pop of freshness.
