Cheesy White Bean Bake
This Cheesy White Bean Tomato Bake ALL comes together in one skillet and makes the perfect appetizer, side dish OR even a complete meal (which is how I love it!). It's cheesy and delicious and SO FILLING!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- ¼ cup tomato paste
- 2 15-ounce cans white beans (any white beans will work!), drained and rinsed
- ½ cup boiling water
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ⅓ cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 475 degrees F.
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add in the garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Mix in the tomato paste, continuing to stir often, and cook for 1 more minute.
- Add in the beans, boiling water, and a good pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Stir until fully combined and the beans are covered in the tomato paste.
- Sprinkle on the cheese so that it evenly covers the top of the skillet. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and starting to crisp around the edges. If you're REALLY a fan of crispy cheese, I highly recommend running your broiler for a couple minutes. Make sure to watch it closely so it doesn't burn!
- Serve with toasted bread or chips/ crackers and ENJOY!
