Shirred/Sheared Eggs image

Shirred eggs are baked in a small dish with a covering of cream or milk and often topped with buttered bread crumbs. The whites of the finished dish are firm while the yolks are usually still soft. This is an excellent recipe that can either be eaten right from the dish it was cooked in or served over toasted english muffins.
