Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by rinsing the canned white beans under cold water to remove excess sodium. Next, thinly slice 2 cloves of garlic and finely dice 1 medium onion. Crack 4 cage-free organic eggs into separate small bowls.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, pour in 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and heat for about 2 minutes until it shimmers.
  3. Add the sliced garlic and diced onion to the skillet. Sauté for about 3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
  4. Stir in 1 teaspoon of sweet smoked Spanish paprika and let it mingle with the sautéed garlic and onion for about a minute.
  5. Add a 14.5-ounce can of diced tomatoes along with a handful of freshly chopped parsley and chives, cooking together for about 2 minutes.
  6. Incorporate the rinsed white beans into the skillet, gently folding them. Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste, and let simmer for about 3 minutes.
  7. Make four small pockets in the bean mixture. Carefully slip one egg from each bowl into the pockets, being gentle to avoid breaking the yolks.
  8. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for 2 minutes on medium heat, then remove the lid and continue cooking for an additional 2 to 4 minutes.
  9. Once the eggs are cooked perfectly, sprinkle some additional freshly chopped chives on top and serve hot.
