This is the kind of breakfast that feels both comforting and wonderfully fresh. Juicy tomatoes and creamy butterbeans slow-roasted with garlic until sweet and tender, then lifted with fresh basil and a splash of sherry vinegar. Served with charred sourdough and a perfectly seasoned soft boiled egg using the Cole and Mason Electric Derwents, it’s a simple, satisfying meal packed with protein, fibre and plenty of goodness. Perfect for a slow weekend breakfast, but easy enough to make any day of the week.

25 cherry tomatoes
1 jar of butterbeans, drained and rinsed
