Welsh "Shirred Eggs", originally used with dried hard-boiled eggs in World War II. Great for breakfast or dinner, with a nice leek flavor. Taken roughly from The Old Foodie website. Classical and easy when you have some boiled eggs on hand. You could also substitute some regular scrambled eggs and it would still be good.
