Notes

Baked White Beans can be served as a main dish or a side. They pair well with a simple green salad or crusty bread. You can also serve them alongside grilled vegetables or roasted meats for a heartier meal. For extra flavor, you can add cooked bacon or sausage. Try experimenting with different herbs like basil or rosemary for a unique twist. If you like a little heat, add some red pepper flakes to the tomato mixture. You can make the dish vegan by omitting the cheese or using a plant-based cheese alternative.
