Fill a saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer for poaching the egg. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Break the egg into a small bowl or ramekin. Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water and slowly tip the egg into the centre. Cook for about 3 minutes for a soft poach.
While the egg is poaching, heat the baked beans in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until heated through.
Toast the whole grain bread slice until golden brown and crispy.
Spread the butter over the hot toast, ensuring even coverage.
Pour the warmed baked beans over the buttered toast, spreading them out to cover the toast completely.
Carefully remove the poached egg with a slotted spoon, allowing any excess water to drain away. Place the egg gently on top of the beans.
Season with a pinch of black pepper and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if using.
