How to Make Welsh Eggs

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Generously butter six (6) ovenproof ramekins or small dishes.
  3. Sprinkle 1/4 cup (30g) of grated cheese into the bottom of each prepared dish.
  4. Carefully crack two (2) eggs into a small saucer. Gently slide each egg into a prepared dish, ensuring the yolk remains intact.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining grated cheese (approximately 1/4 cup or 30g) evenly over the eggs in each dish.
  6. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  7. Place the ramekins in a baking dish (to prevent spills) and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Serve immediately. Enjoy with warm, buttered toast for dipping into the rich, cheesy yolk.
