Bean Mix on Toast – the Mediterranean edition

New week, new ingredient – and this time it’s the fabulous Mediterranean Bean Mix from the latest Epicure collection.

Now… we all love some nice beans on toast – especially when we’re on the run and just looking for a quick and easy breakfast/brunch. But this is not your usual bean mix on toast situation. This is something rather special. Can you hear the drumrolls?

Enter: the Mediterranean Bean Mix on Sweet Potato Toast. Yes, you’ve read that well: this is the latest fusion between beans on toast and the jacket potato topped with baked beans. It took me a while to come up with this idea, but when I did… I instantly knew that it will be a success. So allow me to share it with you.

To start with, I am using the Epicure Mediterranean Bean Mix as a cold topping . The bean mix comes already seasoned with extra virgin olive oil, so I have only added a touch of salt and some freshly ground black pepper. Also, some herbs (thyme and parsley are my favourites) and a finely diced red pepper – just to bring some extra flavour to the bean mix. As for the toast: thin slices of sweet potato, seasoned with salt, black pepper, olive oil and plenty of thyme. Roast in the hot oven until golden and ready to plate up.
