Cheesy White Bean Skillet

Need a quick brunch meal on the fly? We bet you’ve got the ingredients for this in your kitchen already. Believe it or not, if you've got eggs, canned white beans, and some marinara, you've got breakfast! The best part? This easy, cheesy recipe comes together in less than 30 minutes. 😉

We love a breakfast dish that can be served directly out of the skillet, like our Maple Chorizo Breakfast Skillet or our Cowboy Breakfast Skillet, and this one is no different. This recipe is especially great because it’s pretty barebones, meaning you can enjoy it as is or add spices and vegetables to make this dish your own. Don’t have white beans? Try this with chickpeas instead. Want to add some greens? Cook some kale down with the tomatoes at the end, or add arugula on top before serving. Want more spice?  Take inspiration from our red or green shakshuka (a Middle Eastern breakfast dish that traditionally also pairs eggs with tomatoes) for ideas. This dish is inherently vegetarian, but if you want to add even more protein, try adding some sausage or ham.

Serving this with crusty bread or tortillas to sop up the sauce is a MUST, but it would also be nice paired with some pan-fried potatoes or pancakes for brunch (don’t forget the mimosas!). We’ve also been known to throw this together for an easy weeknight dinner, particularly on those days when we desperately need groceries. When we do finally make it to the store, we make sure to stock up on canned beans so we’ve always got some on hand for this easy dish, though you could always also get dry and cook your own.
