directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Lightly toast the bread.
3. Fry the onion in a little olive oil until just becoming golden.
4. Place the baked beans in a shallow ovenproof dish and stir in the onion.
5. For extra flavour and an additional kick to the beans, mix in a few good shakes of Tabasco and Worcestershire sauce and plenty of freshly ground black pepper.
