Inspired by Mexico – with a luxurious twist
Not a fan of regular baked beans, or looking for a way to switch up your Full English? Black beans are a common component of Mexican (and other Hispanic) breakfast cuisine that subsequently became a staple of brunch plates around the world. While the more traditional approach is to flavour with chilli, this version uses the truffle flavoured cottage cheese to add an extra degree of luxury.
Spice up your beans even more!
Want to add a little more heat to your black beans? Easy! Take a jalapeño pepper (seeded, if you don’t want too much spice), finely chop it and add along with some lime juice to the beans before you roast in the oven.
Make a full Mexican breakfast
These roasted black beans are the base components of several Mexican breakfast staples. Layer in some tortillas before roasting the beans, then add a fried egg on top and you have basic huevos rancheros. Alternatively, fry an onion together with scrambled eggs and tortillas sliced into chip shapes. Now simply add to the black bean and cheese mixture to create chilaquiles.
