Metric avoids regional spoon ambiguity. US uses 5 mL tsp, 15 mL tbsp and 240 mL cup. Small masses stay in grams unless a verified recipe conversion exists. More on measurements
400 g potatoes, skins on, thinly sliced
4 eggs (204 g)
40 g cheddar, grated
20 ml extra-virgin olive oil (18 g)
8 g chives, snipped
1 g iodised table salt
Ground black pepper, to taste
Method
Heat the oven to 200C/400F.
Warm the oil in an ovenproof frying pan over medium-low heat and cook the potato, covered, for 12-15 minutes, turning now and then, until tender enough to cut with a spoon.
Season, then make four hollows in the potato and crack an egg into each.
Scatter the cheddar around the eggs rather than over the yolks, and bake 8-10 minutes, until the whites are set and the yolks still move when you tip the pan.
Scatter the chives over and grind pepper on.
Serve
A soft yolk is not fully cooked. Guidance is to avoid undercooked egg if you are pregnant, over 70, under 2, or your immune system is low or suppressed — which includes many people on immune-modifying medicines. Cook the yolk through instead: the dish still works.
Safety and storage
Keeps
3 days refrigerated below 5°C
Reheat to
steaming hot, at least 75°C
Cool it fast: split large amounts into shallow containers as soon as it stops steaming, and have it in the fridge within two hours. Reheat once only, until steaming hot right through, at least 75°C in the centre.
Recipes whose current method review records low visual reliance, making them useful examples when comparing methods that depend less heavily on visual checking.

Everyday cooking that takes reflux seriously: your own triggers rather than a blanket banned list, and evenings that sit lighter before bed, which is what current guidance supports. It works alongside your treatment, and some symptoms need a doctor rather than a different dinner.
