Ingredients (serves 2)
2 eggs
1 ½ cups mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 ½ cups potatoes, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 cup baked beans (low-sugar, low-sodium)
½ cup tinned mixed beans (e.g., kidney,
black, butter beans, drained and rinsed)
1 grilled tomato, halved
Salt and pepper to taste
Prepare the air-fried potatoes, toss the sliced potatoes with ½ tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Air-fry at 200°C (400°F) for 15–18 minutes, shaking halfway through until golden and crispy.
Cook the mushrooms in a pan, heat the remaining olive oil and sauté the mushrooms, garlic, and tarragon over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until soft and fragrant. Set aside.
Prepare the beans; in a saucepan, heat the baked beans and add drained mixed beans, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes, until warm.
Prepare the eggs to your preference (poached, scrambled, or fried in Extra Virgin Olive Oil).
Assemble the plate - Serve the eggs alongside the air-fried potatoes, beans, and sautéed mushrooms. Add any optional extras such as grilled tomato, wilted spinach, or pumpkin seeds for extra gut benefits.
