Steps

  1. 1

    Beans into the pan

    Tip the whole tin of beans into a small saucepan. Turn the hob to MEDIUM.

  2. 2

    Bread into the toaster

    While the beans warm up, put 2 slices of bread in the toaster. Push lever down.

  3. 3

    Stir the beans

    Stir the beans every 30 seconds. They go from cold to hot in about 3 minutes. Don't let them stick.

  4. 4

    Butter the toast

    When the toast pops up, butter it straight away while it's hot.

  5. 5

    Beans on top

    Toast on plate. Beans over the top. Cheese on top of beans if you want a luxury upgrade. Eat immediately.

What Could Go Wrong

  • Tin lids are sharp. Use a tin opener properly, don't try to bend the lid back.
  • Beans spit when they boil. Lower the heat the moment you see the first bubble.
  • Don't put the beans IN the toaster. (We've said this before.)
