- Yield: Generous servings for 4
- Difficulty: A breeze to make, even for amateur chefs
- Total Time: 50 minutes
Gather the Goods:
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing the ramekins
- 1/2 pound Irish-style banger sausages
- 1/4 cup water
- 8 large eggs, at room temperature
- A pinch of kosher salt
- Freshly cracked black pepper
- 1/2 cup loosely packed, shredded Irish cheddar cheese (approximately 1 ounce)
Cooking Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and position a rack in the center. Lightly coat 4 (6-ounce) ramekins with butter and arrange them on a baking sheet. Set aside.
- In a medium skillet, melt the measured butter over medium-low heat. Add the bangers and water, cover with a lid, and cook, turning occasionally, until the water evaporates, and the bangers are browned and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Transfer them to a cutting board, let cool for a minute, and chop them into medium bits.
- Evenly distribute the banger pieces among the ramekins, crack 2 eggs into each ramekin (avoiding broken yolks), season with salt and pepper, and top each with a quarter of the cheese. Bake until the eggs are set to your desired doneness (18 to 22 minutes for runny yolks). Allow them to rest for 3 to 5 minutes before serving.
