Beans on toast get an upgrade in this recipe with a five-bean and goat’s cheese topping that becomes creamy and luxurious when blended with cream. Top your toast with the beans and finish it off with charred black chickpeas and a tin of cannellini beans, soybeans and vegetable mix for the perfect crunch.
