1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon sweet smoked Spanish paprika

- Create four small wells in the mixture and crack an egg into each one. Lightly season the eggs with salt.

Notes
Use cannellini, navy, or great northern beans for the best texture.
Chickpeas can be substituted for white beans.
Add roasted red peppers for extra sweetness and color.
For a spicy version, add crushed red pepper flakes.
Fresh spinach or kale can be stirred in before adding the eggs.
Serve with crusty bread, toasted sourdough, or a simple green salad.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Freeze the bean mixture separately and prepare fresh eggs when serving.
