Notes
- Although traditionally it's a breakfast or brunch dish, it's great for lunch and dinner too.
- You can use any vegetables you like as the base, so it's a great way to use it veg that is on the turn.
- If you want to make a vegan version, leave the eggs out and swap the butterbeans for chickpeas.
- Use the best quality tomatoes you can afford, as cheap tomatoes are watery and they really are the base of the dish.
- You can cook this dish in the oven once you have cracked the eggs in to it - it will take around 7-10 minutes.
- Serve with pita, flatbread or crusty bread.
