Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 slices bacon, diced
  • 2 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 540ml / 19oz can of white kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 398ml / 14oz can tomato sauce
  • ⅓ cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp worcestershire sauce
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 cups spinach, packed and roughly chopped
  • 4 eggs

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add onions and bacon. Sauté until the onions are translucent, and the bacon is slightly crispy, about 3-5 minutes. 
  3. Add garlic and tomato paste, cook for another minute until very fragrant. 
  4. Add the beans, tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and salt. Stir well to combine.
  5. Bring to a simmer and cook, partially covered, stirring frequently until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. 
  6. Once thickened, add spinach and stir to wilt, about a minute. With a spoon, create four wells for the eggs. Crack an egg into each well. 
  7. Cover the skillet and let the eggs cook in the simmering sauce about 3-5 minutes, or until the eggs have set but yolks are still runny. 
  8. Serve with fresh parsley and crusty bread.
