Recipe Description

If you have never tasted our Anglesey Eggs Recipe then now is definitely the time to serve it for breakfast one morning. Served in a soup-like bowl on a bed of mashed potatoes and hard-boiled eggs with a thick, cheesy and creamy sauce and some thinly sliced leeks for flavor.

I sprinkle a few bread crumbs over to bake a crispy topping and serve it with some crispy bacon strips on the side.

Added more seasoning to mine cause I felt like it needed a bit of a kick, therefore there was some chili powder and a drop of hot sauce that i mixed into it.
