Description

This Burst Cherry Tomatoes & White Bean Egg Skillet is a fresh, nutritious, and satisfying one-pan meal that’s bursting with vibrant flavors. The combination of sweet, juicy cherry tomatoes, hearty white beans, and creamy eggs creates a delicious balance of textures. It’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a light dinner.


Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 (15-ounce) can white beans (such as cannellini or great northern), drained and rinsed
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
  • 4 large eggs
  • Fresh basil, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3–4 minutes until softened.
  2. Add the minced garlic and halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Sauté for another 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes burst and release their juices.
  3. Stir in the white beans, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture cook for another 3 minutes, stirring to combine.
  4. Use the back of a spoon to create four small wells in the tomato-bean mixture. Crack an egg into each well.
  5. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for about 3–4 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain soft. If you prefer your eggs cooked more, leave them on the heat for another minute or two.
  6. Remove from heat, garnish with fresh basil if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

Add greens: For extra nutrients, toss in some spinach or kale while cooking the tomatoes.Spicy kick: Add red pepper flakes or a diced chili pepper for a spicy twist.Cheese: Sprinkle some crumbled feta or goat cheese on top for a creamy, tangy finish.Vegan option: Skip the eggs and add more beans or tofu for protein.
