IRISH BAKED EGGS
This recipe comes from "The Ballykissangel Cookbook". Ballykissangel being the fictional Irish village of the popular BBC TV drama series of the same name, that was aired a few years ago. This is a simple vegetarian supper dish that can be varied endlessly and easily adapted to suit your personal tastes. Ingredients are per person so this can be made for just one person or sized up to feed the family (If you're making for more than one and are not cooking this in individual portions you'll probably find that you don't need as much milk per person; you'll also find you need to adjust cooking times upwards). We found this to be a meal in itself so I simply serve it with some crusty bread.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle. Butter the bottoms and sides of four 8 to 10 oz ramekins. In a medium sized nonstick sauté pan, cook bacon slices over moderate heat until they are crisped. Move the bacon to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Meanwhile pour off and discard all but 1 tablespoon of the rendered bacon fat. To the sauté pan, add the rashers and cook until well browned on all sides. Add ¼-cup water to the sauté pan, lower the heat to a simmer and cook, covered until cooked through, about 20 minutes. Move the bangers to a cutting board and cut into ½-inch dice. Break the bacon into bite sized pieces. Mix the meats together well. Divide the meat mixture among the four ramekins. Spoon 1 tablespoon of heavy cream into each serving. Crack 2 or 3 eggs into each ramekin and season lightly with salt and pepper. Cut the 2 tablespoons of butter into 12 small pieces and dot the top of each ramekin with 3 pieces of butter. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon each cheddar cheese. Put ramekins on a baking sheet and bake, rotating pan halfway through, until whites are just set but yolks are still runny, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm with toast.
Tips:
- Use fresh eggs: Fresh eggs will give you the best results in this recipe. Older eggs may have a watery white and a less flavorful yolk.
- Choose a good quality bread: The bread you use will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for a hearty, crusty bread that will hold up well to the eggs and sauce.
- Don't overcook the eggs: The eggs should be cooked until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery.
- Add your favorite toppings: Once the eggs are cooked, you can add your favorite toppings. Some popular options include cheese, bacon, tomatoes, and avocado.
Conclusion:
Irish baked eggs is a delicious and easy breakfast or brunch dish that is perfect for a crowd. It is also a great way to use up leftover bread. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a hearty and satisfying meal that everyone will enjoy.
