Step 1

Heat oven to 180C/350F. Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium high heat.

Step 2

Add garlic and onion and sauté for 3 minutes or until translucent.

Step 3

Add cannellini beans, tomato, chicken broth, herbs, sugar, salt and pepper. Bring to simmer, turn down heat to medium and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust salt, pepper and sugar to taste. Stir through HALF the basil.

Step 4

Make dents in the mixture using the back of a wooden spoon. Crack eggs into the dent. Top with cherry tomatoes and most of the bocconcini around the eggs.

Step 5

Transfer to the oven. Bake for 15 minutes or until whites are just set but yolks are still runny (or to taste).

Step 6

Sprinkle over remaining basil and bocconcini cheese. Either drizzle the Balsamic Syrup over in the skillet or serve on the side for people to help themselves. Serve with crusty bread!

Step 7

Balsamic Syrup

Step 8

Place balsamic vinegar, sugar and salt in a small frypan or saucepan over medium high heat. Bring to simmer then turn down to medium. Simmer for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until syrupy. It's ready when your spatula leaves a path when you run it across the bottom of the frypan. Set aside until required. Use hot or at room temperature - it thickens as it cools.
