Method

  1. Blend two‑thirds of the butter beans with the sun‑dried tomatoes, their oil, garlic, smoked paprika, chilli flakes, lemon juice, salt and pepper until smooth; add a splash of water if the mixture is too thick.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Two-thirds of the beans blend into a smooth paste. Add a splash of water only if the blades need help.

  2. Mash the remaining beans with a fork and fold them into the blended mixture so the texture is slightly chunky.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Remaining beans add texture to the puree. Fold them through rather than blending again.

  3. Toast the bread slices on both sides until golden and crisp; this prevents sogginess when topped.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Bread turns golden and crisp. Toast well so the topping does not soften it.

  4. Spread the bean mixture evenly over the toasted bread, reaching the edges; top with torn mozzarella and grated cheddar.

  5. Place the assembled toast under a hot grill for 4–5 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling and lightly browned; finish with torn fresh basil.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Cheese bubbles and browns under the grill. Watch closely as it finishes.
