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.

Amazing little meal for one or two people, the cheddar cheese goes fantastic with this too.

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.
