  • Add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté until the onion is translucent and softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the cocktail tomatoes. Cook until the tomatoes have softened and released their juices, about 5-7 minutes. This creates a naturally sweet and flavorful base for the sauce.

  • Stir in the salt and black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Gently fold in the cooked red beans. Mix well to coat the beans in the sauce.
  • Transfer the bean mixture to a baking dish. Create four small wells in the beans for the eggs.

  • Crack an egg into each well. Top with grape tomatoes.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-12 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

  • For an extra layer of smoky flavor, sauté a diced chipotle pepper in adobo sauce with the onions and bell peppers before adding the tomatoes.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, mash a portion of the beans with the back of a spoon while simmering—this will help naturally thicken the mixture without extra ingredients.
  • Serve over a lightly toasted slice of crusty bread or warm corn tortillas for a heartier, more traditional Mexican brunch experience.
  • To make this dish vegan, simply omit the poached egg and top the beans with sliced avocado and a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for a creamy, umami-rich finish.

Expert Tips

  • For a brighter flavor, use fresh tomatoes when they're in season. During the off-season, canned fire-roasted tomatoes offer a great alternative.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of beans. Black beans, pinto beans, or even a combination can be delicious.
  • A squeeze of fresh lime juice just before serving adds a vibrant touch.

Storage Instructions

  • Store leftover beans in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
