Ingredients

14 ozcanned baked beans
4 slicebread, thick cut
1 ozbutter
1 3/4 ozcheddar, grated, optional

Method

1
Tip the beans into a small pan over medium-low heat and let them come to a gentle simmer, stirring now and then so the bottom does not catch. They take about 5 minutes.
2
Toast the bread while the beans heat, so both are ready at the same moment.
3
Butter the toast the moment it comes out, while it is hot enough for the butter to soak in. This is the step that keeps the toast from going soggy.
4
Spoon the beans over the toast and scatter the cheddar on top, if using, so it melts into the heat.
