Beans on Toast

Ingredients:

frozen bread
cooked beans
sea salt
Nigella (kalonji) seeds
white poppy seeds
shallot

When you just don't want to fool around this is quick and clean.

Put as many slices of frozen bread as will fit into your shallow pan.
Spread a thin layer of Prepared Mustard or Dijon style mustard on the top of each slice.
Spoon a generous heap of cooked beans* of any sort onto each of the slices, using a tilted spoon to partially drain the beans as they're lifted from the pot. Crush a few if you really want to get fancy; it will help hold things together but is by no means necessary.
Sprinkle the beans with freshly crushed sea salt, Nigella (kalonji) seeds, and white poppy seeds. If you have time and a shallot, peel and slice it exceedingly fine and sprinkle it onto the beans as well.
Put in the middle of the toaster oven at medium heat for fifteen minutes. The bread should be crisp and somewhat browned on the bottom.
Serve hot or cool.
If you have some lemon wedges and a few very small, very ripe olives on the side you are all set.

Notes:

*Baby Lima or 'butter' beans are good in this recipe, black beans too.
