Lupini Beans with Eggs and Croutons

BY The Editors

PUBLISHED June 15, 2022

This dish normally calls for fresh fava beans, which are a delicious springtime treat, with a verdant flavor that makes the shucking and peeling worth the effort. Here, however, we used Brami’s Italian snacking lupini beans — lupini beans have a reputation for being tricky to prepare (more on that another time!), but Brami’s takes the work out of it, so this is a really nice substitution. Other beans you can use: Just about any fresh or frozen bean, like lima, edamame, black-eyed peas, or cranberry, will be delicious.
