The ingredients say "cooked white beans."
I would soak them and change the water at least once before cooking. I think this makes them less "tooty" in the final result.
I made this using canned beans out of desperation when the listed ingredients were pretty much all I had on hand. Six slices of bacon, a 16 oz can of cannellini beans well rinsed, leaves from half of a 1 oz pack of sage, and 1/4 cup of chicken stock. I simmered the beans for 15 minutes but they could have used longer. I fried two eggs in the pan afterwards to fill out the meal, and topped it a lot of black pepper and some zhoug I had in the fridge for herbalness. Turned out well!
There is not enough information to make this dish. How much bacon do you use? Same question with the rest of the ingredients? And how big is that "splash" when you are simmering long enough for the beans to "fall apart"?
I omitted the stock and the bread crumbs (I did add a few tablespoons of water instead to simmer everything) I also added chili flakes and black pepper and served with orzo (served over, mixed together when eaten). Overall, a simple and enjoyable dish.
