Beans on Toast

I had to give a little tribute to one of my most favorite recipes. I "stole" the idea for British-style beans on toast from the movie Bend It Like Beckham. It is so simple, light, low fat and tasty!
Give it a try!

Beans on Toast

2 slices of your favorite bread
Favorite buttery spread (butter, margarine, Smart Balance, etc.)
1/2 cup favorite baked beans (In my opinion, nothing can compare to Bush's Vegetarian Baked Beans.)

1. Heat up the beans in a small pot or in the microwave.
2. Toast one slice of bread so that it is really golden. Not, what I like to call "raw" toast, but good and crunchy. It needs to be crunchy to resist getting soggy from the beans.
3. While the toast is hot, spread on your favorite butteriness. Put the toast on a plate and add half of the beans. Eat and relish the amazing flavors.
4. Toast the second slice of bread and repeat steps 2 and 3. (The hot toast makes all the difference, which is why I only toast one slice at a time.)

Yummy!
