Ingredients

• 1 cup (8 oz) (250g) ricotta cheese
• 1 can (15 oz) (425g) white beans, drained and rinsed
• 3 large eggs
• 1/4 cup (1 oz) (25g) grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons (1 fl oz) (30ml) olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon (3g) salt
• 1/4 teaspoon (1g) black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon (1g) dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon (0.5g) chili flakes (optional)
• 1/4 cup (0.5 oz) (15g) chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Lightly grease a medium baking dish with 1 tablespoon (0.5 fl oz) (15ml) olive oil.
3. In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, white beans, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and half of the chopped parsley. Mix gently until well combined.
4. Spread the ricotta and bean mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
5. Use the back of a spoon to make three shallow wells in the mixture. Crack one egg into each well.
6. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon (0.5 fl oz) (15ml) olive oil over the top. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and chili flakes if using.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny.
8. Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with the remaining chopped parsley before serving.
