Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 12 ounces green beans, trimmed, cut in 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup fresh shelled beans
  • 1/4 cup minced onion
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs, at room temperature
  • - freshly ground pepper to taste

How To Make sunny-side beans

  • Step 1
    Bring water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add green beans and shelled beans. Reduce the heat to maintain a lively simmer and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 15-20 minutes. (The beans will not be completely submerged in the liquid.) Stir in onion, butter and salt. Remove from heat, cover and let stand until the butter is melted.
  • Step 2
    Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Fill four 10-ounce ovenproof bowls with hot water to warm them while the oven preheats.
  • Step 3
    Empty the bowls and dry. Place them on a baking sheet. Evenly divide the bean mixture and butter sauce among the bowls. Using a large spoon make a 1/2-inch-deep well in the beans for each egg. Break an egg into each well.
  • Step 4
    Bake until the egg whites are just set, 15-20 minutes. Check after 15 minutes; if necessary, continue to bake, checking every minute or two, until the whites are set but the yolks are still liquid. Remove from the oven and let stand 5 minutes; the eggs will continue to cook a little bit. Serve with a generous grinding of pepper on top.
