Ingredients

- 400g can diced tomatoes
- 400g can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- ½ teaspoon chilli flakes
- 1 cup grated South Cape Extra Tasty Cheddar

- toasted tortillas, for serving
Method
Heat oil in a heavy based skillet and sauté onion until softened. Add tomatoes, beans and chilli and simmer for 5 minutes until thickened. Sprinkle ¾ cup South Cape Extra Tasty Cheddar over the top. Use a spoon to make four hollows in the sauce and carefully break an egg into each. Simmer over low heat for 5 minutes until eggs are just set. Sprinkle with remaining cheddar and paprika and serve with toasted tortillas.
Tips

• These can also be made in individual soufflé dishes and oven baked until the eggs are just set as shown in recipe image.
• A mix of South Cape Extra Tasty Cheddar and Swiss is also a great combination for this recipe.
