Our baked eggs in cheese recipe uses two different types of cheese; one curmbly and one stringy. We use either Lancahsire crumbly or Wednesleydale for the crumbly option, and Cheddar for the string version. However, you can replace these with any similar varieties of cheese you wish. The crumbly version gives the dish texture, while the Cheddar gives the cheese pot stretch and a nice mouthfeel.

You can adapt the recipe by adding additional ingredients. We like thinly sliced onions or spring onions. Another option is a sprinkling of chives either in the cheese mix or as a garnish added to the top of the pots of eggs and cheese.
