Anglesey Eggs Recipe
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.
To make Anglesey Eggs Recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

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.
One of my favorite egg recipes this and the potato egg nest have a special place in my heart.
Delicious anglesey egg dish, I made this in the morning along with my brewed coffee and milk, it was very filling and kept me full till the afternoon :)
Love this British egg recipe, brought the leftovers to work with me too!
Great for breakfast or an afternoon snack, it goes well with anything and keeps you full cause of the potatoes and eggs.
Yummy and simple to make its an affordable recipe and doesn't require much knowledge of cooking so it's great for people like myself who are lazy and never cook enough to know how to make the pro meals.
Tasty and unique dish for sure, I never imagined it would taste this good when it's such a simple meal.
Not going to be adding any leeks in this next time because it makes it taste only like leeks, the flavor is overbaring.
Well done! Verified!
