One-Pan Eggs & Beans
Serves 4 | Prep Time 5 minutes | Total Time 25 minutes
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 package of Chakalaka
- 3 ounces feta cheese (or sub. any crumbled or shredded cheese)
- Scallions for garnish (or sub. parsley or other fresh herbs)
- Crusty bread for serving, sliced and lightly toasted
Directions
-
Prepare 1 package of Chakalaka in a wide, shallow pan according to package instructions. Note: Chakalaka may cook more quickly in a shallow pan, so you should add more water as needed until the beans are tender.
-
When the beans are almost tender and almost all of the liquid is absorbed, make 4 divots in the chakalaka using a large spoon. Then, carefully crack an egg into each of the 4 divots. Let cook until the whites are set but yolk is still runny, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Garnish the dish with crumbled feta and sliced scallions. Split into individual portions and serve alongside crusty toasted bread.
