Heat the beans in a sauce pan. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the sage in butter for 1 minute. Add to the beans, mix well and serve on hot, buttered toast.


This is huge in England. Baked beans are part of a traditional breakfast.

Mr Breakfast would like to thank DixieChick for this recipe.

Classic. Serve with a fried over-easy egg on top. We love it and it's extraordinarily easy.

No, I think the best thing to do is warm the baked beans in the microwave. Whilst doing that, spread butter over the bread and after the beans are heated, spread them over the bread and top with grated cheese. Place in the grill until it starts to go golden and there is your Pizza Breakfast!!

This is a good recipe but it leaves out the most important thing: the baked beans used here refer to a variety not sold in the U.S. The Heinz vegetarian baked beans are probably the most similar but they not really that close.

I've had this for lunch, but never for breakfast. My family chops up hot dogs and cooks them with the beans. Great over toast.

I understand that the Heinz vegetarian baked beans are similar to the UK beans. I would eat this with either a poached or fried egg on top or on the side. Very good comfort food at any time of day. Try and use whole grain/granary bread. The beans are also good with French's type (mild American) mustard.

Oh my gosh. This epitomizes bad English cooking. Beans on toast tastes awful!

I grew up on Heinz baked beans in the UK - and not just for breakfast either... US pork and beans is MUCH closer to the UK style baked beans. US baked beans are far too sweet for my taste! Especially for breakfast!

From pinkie

I know they aren't the same as US type baked beans. How close to our pork and beans?

From kim

I was ever so bored with baked beans this way that I jazz them up with mustard, sambal olec, vegemite, mixed dried herbs or fresh basil and a touch of tomato sauce for colour. Just the thing to wake up the tongue as a counter point to most eggs scrambled, fried or poached. Vary the amounts to your suit you own taste use one or all. An infinite variety really.

From mcadwell

I didn't know they did this in England. In a few southern U.S. states black-eyed peas are eaten over toast for good luck on New Year's Day. That's yummy.

The sage & butter business in this recipe is a great and very original idea, however for the sake of non-British fastbreakers it may be worth pointing out that the standard Beans on Toast are definitely sage-free -and the toast is often unbuttered, too.

Has to be Heinz baked beans or they are not the preferred English version. VERY different taste to American banked beans. I would skip the sage however.
