Shirred Eggs and Sausage
Ingredients
1 unsalted butter
4 , chopped into 1/4-inch pieces
4 eggs
2 heavy cream
1/4 sharp cheddar cheese

Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350º.
- Melt the butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Place the sausage in the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sausage begins to brown. Distribute the sausage evenly between 4 ramekins or shallow bowls. Carefully break the eggs over the sausage. Pour the cream over the eggs and sprinkle with the grated cheese.
