Cheesy Baked Bean Crumpets

I follow a page on Twitter called Rate My Plate, where people send in photos of their food for viewers to enjoy, criticize, or skewer. I'm still not sure if the ones who send in ugly pictures really believe the plate is good, or are looking for some fun, but I love the page. I've seen some really horrifying plates you guys, like, really bad, but I've also stumbled across a few gorgeous ones like the one that inspired this recipe.

This is giving me back in Ireland vibes. I was loving the whole baked beans for breakfast thing, although my stomach might have felt differently. Quite simply, toasty crumpets, baked beans, the oldest cheddar, gouda, and some white & green onions. Delish.

Cheesy Baked Bean Crumpets



Prep Time: 10 Min
Cook Time: 10 Min

Yields: 6 Pieces

WHT YOU NEED

• 6 Pack Crumpets
• 398ml can Tomato Sauce Baked Beans
• Unsalted Butter
• 6 Tbsp. Gouda, shredded
• 6 Tbsp. Extra Old White Cheddar, shredded
• 1/2 Yellow Onion, finely diced
• 1 - 2 Green Onions, thinly sliced
• Red Pepper Flakes
• Sea Salt & Cracked Pepper

DIRECTIONS

• Warm up the baked beans in a small pot, covered over medium low heat.
• In the meantime, toast the crumpets. I usually toast them twice if I'm piling liquidy toppings on top.
  
• Preheat oven to BROIL 500 F
• Arrange the crumpets on a wire rack over a baking sheet. Place a sliver of butter on each crumpet and use a slotted spoon to scoop a generous amount of baked beans on each crumpet. Top each crumpet with one tablespoon of each of the cheeses, a sprinkling of salt, pepper, and pepper flakes, and toss them in to the oven.
  
• Broil until cheese is bubbly and melted. Garnish with finely diced yellow uns & sliced green onions. ENJOY!

Make it an experience with an egg cooked to your liking. I suggest a yolky one because that golden yolk and those cheesy beans are a match made in heaven.
