Anglesey Eggs | Wyau Môn

How to make Anglesey eggs! Wyau Môn: ein rysáit draddodiadol. The dish Anglesey eggs takes its name from the Welsh island of Anglesey, known as Ynys Môn in Welsh, located at the northern tip of the country. The dish has been alleviating the hunger pangs of Welsh families for generations, offering a hearty mixture of mashed potato, leeks, cheese and the all-important eggs, typically topped with breadcrumbs and baked in an oven. How to make Anglesey eggs Serves: 4 | Prep time: 30 mins | Cook time: 50 mins Ingredients 600g floury potatoes (see ‘Notes from the chef’ section above for details) 120g butter, plus extra for buttering the dish 4 medium leeks, washed and sliced 300ml milk 30g flour ¼ nutmeg seed 1 tsp mustard, English or Dijon 100g Caerphilly or cheddar cheese, grated 30g panko breadcrumbs (optional) 4 eggs Salt and pepper, to taste Method Step 1: Begin by preheating the oven (220C/fan 200C), then peel and quarter the potatoes and bring them to the boil in well salted water. Once tender, which should take around 15 minutes depending on size, mash and put to one side. Step 2: Melt 70g butter in a medium pan over a medium low heat, add the leeks and cover. Cook for 20 minutes or until softened, stirring occasionally. Now add to the mashed potatoes and mix well. Taste and season with salt and pepper as required. Step 3: To create the cheese sauce, melt the remaining butter in a small saucepan over a medium heat, add the flour and stir for two minutes. Now add the milk a quarter at a time, whisking until smooth before adding the next bit. Reduce the heat to low and cook gently for 15 minutes. Add the mustard, nutmeg and half of the cheese. Taste and add salt and pepper as desired. Step 4: Spoon the potatoes into a small oven-proof dish creating four small wells for the eggs. Crack the eggs into the wells, taking care not to break the yolks. Carefully pour over the cheese sauce (taking extra care not to disturb the egg yolks too much). Then top with the remaining cheese and breadcrumbs (if using) before baking in the oven for 20-25 minutes. The egg whites should be set, while the yolks still remain a little runny. Step 5: Serve with bread to mop up and/or a green salad on the side.
