Homemade beans on toast are not just for brunch. This speedy 20 minute meal is just 360 calories per serving.
Homemade beans on toast are a filling meal. The beans are packed full of protein, making it an ideal option for lunch or dinner too. We served our beans on slices of fresh sourdough. Swap for wholemeal bread, or even just simply on a slice of classic white bread instead.

- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 150g baby cherry tomatoes
