Sourdough Toast and Beans with Artichokes and Tomatoes

This easy, protein-packed breakfast takes five minutes to make. Toast and beans is a gut-healthy breakfast that keeps you full and nourished until lunchtime.

Ingredients for Easy Breakfast Toast and Beans

You can change up the ingredients here if you would like to. For instance, if you aren’t a huge fan of artichokes and tomatoes, you can sub with some fresh spinach or sauteed kale. You can even go for classic kimchi and avocado toast and add beans.

Here’s everything you need for these breakfast toasts:

  • 1 cup cooked flageolet beans (or any bean you prefer)
  • Sourdough bread, sliced and toasted
  • Grilled marinated artichokes (I buy these in a little glass jar from Trader Joe’s)
  • Roma tomatoes, sliced
  • Dried basil (or fresh if you have it)
  • Black pepper
  • finishing salt
  • Olive oil

Sourdough Toast and Beans with Artichokes and Tomatoes

If you don’t have the type of bean I use here, you can use whatever type of beans you have. I think cannellini beans or chickpeas would be wonderful.

Flageolet beans, a new favorite for me, are delicious, light, and creamy. Just stick to that kind of bean flavor (because, yes, all beans taste a little different).

I recently ordered a bunch of beans from a company called Rancho Gordo, and wow. They are the best beans I’ve ever had. This company sells specialty beans you can’t find in the grocery store, and I’ve never seen a flageolet bean at Walmart. So don’t be afraid to make a substitution here.

Other Toppings to Pair with Toast and Beans

The artichoke and tomato here are the best combinations with the beans. These ingredients add a pleasant acidic element to the flavor.

If you decide to sub for other toppings, I suggest going for something with a similar flavor profile. A good substitute for artichokes and tomatoes would be something like sauerkraut or kimchi.

Gosh I hope I pronounced Giardiniera correctly. 🤗 Gosh I hope I pronounced Giardiniera correctly. 🤗 

This jar I made was in my fridge for over six months, and it was time to do something with it. When I don’t know what to do with a ferment, pasta salad is usually the answer!

Healthy poop potion? I really do think my gut is Healthy poop potion?

I really do think my gut is loving this sauerkraut because of the celeriac (celery root), and I don’t have a science based reason for why. I saw this celery root in the store and had a gut feeling that I should make sauerkraut with it, and that’s how we got here. I guess my microbiome knew what it wanted!

Type “root vegetable sauerkraut -ai” into google and you’ll see my recipe! It’s also on my website homepage, also linked in my bio, and if you’re seeing this on Facebook, link is in the comments. Enjoy!  #sauerkraut
A lot of people think vinegar kills all microbes b A lot of people think vinegar kills all microbes because shelf stable pickles do not contain microbes. But with shelf stable pickles, it’s the pasteurization/sterilization via hot water bath or pressure canning that makes shelf stable pickles free of microbes.

Hot hot hot acid in a pressurized environment does kill, well…most microbes. 

Think about “refrigerator pickle” recipes, though. They need to be stored in the refrigerator because vinegar alone doesn’t stop fermentation.

Fridge pickles are made without pasteurization/sterilization (canning) so they will wild ferment without refrigeration, and not necessarily in a good way because there’s not enough salt. 

All vinegar is made via fermentation too, and vinegar fermentation involves acetic acid bacteria, but also a ton of LAB, mainly Lactobacillus, Pediococcus, and Leuconostoc (the same genera you’d find in fermented veg.)  I linked a reference paper in my fermented mushroom recipe blog, so you all can read about the LAB involved in vinegar fermentation. 

Try 🍄‍🟫googlin’🍄‍🟫“fermented mushrooms” and you’ll see my recipe, it’s the first result (usually) 🤗

I will not ever wild lacto ferment just beets agai I will not ever wild lacto ferment just beets again lol. Mixing with cabbage for beet sauerkraut is the best though! 

“Lacto fermented beets” was the first ferment I tried to make after learning sauerkraut in college. My best friend Sidney came over and we used these gorgeous beets from the farmers market, with 2.5% salt, and some spices. Well, it ended up tasting like beet moonshine and it was just… not good.

But it was a conduit for learning. Those beets were my first lesson in how different sugars and growth in the rhizosphere vs the phyllosphere influences fermentation. 

Cabbage and the cabbage microbiome offer a lot to balance out beets in fermentation, and I think mixing into a sauerkraut is the only way to go for lacto fermenting beets! 

Try googlin’ “beet and red cabbage sauerkraut” and you’ll see my recipe, I’m Cultured Guru.
Squash is the secret ingredient! My Roasted Butte Squash is the secret ingredient!

My Roasted Butternut Squash Hot Sauce recipe is free on my website! I didn’t cook this one, so yes it’s still probiotic.

When lactic acid bacteria ferment the starches in winter squash, they naturally convert them into emulsifying compounds called exopolysaccharides. So when we blend our hot sauce after fermentation, there’s no watery separation in the bottle. Roasting the squash with the garlic for the recipes also adds such good flavor! 

Definitely make sure it’s fully fermented and not bubbling anymore before you blend and bottle. Otherwise, it’ll carbonate in the cute little hot sauce bottles.
