Warming and flavoursome, this comfort food is sure to be popular with the family and is suitable for vegetarians.

Method: 
  1. Place the milk, flour, mustard and butter in a medium pan. Whisk together with a balloon whisk and slowly bring to the boil, whisking until the mixture boils and thickens. Simmer for 1 minute. Stir in half the cheese and season to taste. Set aside.
  2. Fill a large frying pan with salted water, add the vinegar and bring to the boil.
  3. Meanwhile put the beans in a pan and gently heat for 2-3 minutes or until piping hot.
  4. Poach the eggs in the simmering water for 3-5 minutes until cooked to your liking.
  5. Meanwhile toast the bread on both sides under a hot grill. Arrange the toast on two heatproof serving plates. Top with the baked beans and place a poached egg on top of each. Spoon over the cheese sauce and sprinkle over the remaining cheese. Place each plate under the grill and cook for 1 minute until golden.
