Beans on toast - an absolute staple in many UK households - is simply made by adding warm baked beans to toast, and you can make it your own by adding seasonings or extra ingredients, such as cheese. The dish is so straightforward that there's not much you could do to make it transformative.

However, a food vlogger has shared a genius trick that will bring it to a whole different level, that's according to those who watched the video. Ella Gibson, who shares vegan recipes and vlogs on TikTok, posted her beans on toast method on the platform, and viewers were blown away, calling it "life-changing" and "genius".

Ms Gibson said: "As somebody from the north of England, I do believe that beans on toast is one of the best meals to grace this earth, and as much as I love just a classic basic beans on toast, I do think this version might be even better."

The video creator shows herself scooping pieces of bread from a slice of sourdough to create a "sort of crevice" before adding baked beans straight from the tin into the bread hole. She then grates some cheese over the beans, adds salt and pepper, sprays it with some olive oil and then reveals the genius hack.

She puts her loaded bread slice in the air fryer for about eight minutes and 200C.

She said: "Guys, this is just insane. It gets the most delicious crust over the cheese and the beans. It's just absolutely unreal."

The home chef finishes up her plate with some togarashi seasoning, which is typically made up of red chilli, orange peel, black and white sesame seeds, ginger, nori seaweed, and sansho pepper, and some more black pepper.

The combination is so good that she "swears to God, she could eat it every single day," the creator claims.

"It's crunchy. It's gooey. It's just delish.

"Beans on toast supremacy."

The video gained a huge 10,000 likes and more than 14,000 saves. People also rushed to the comments to share their thoughts.

One person wrote: "wait bc [because] this is life changing."

A second: "You've just changed my life."
