Baked Eggs With Mushroom Sauce Food

SUNDAY SUNSHINE BAKED EGGS IN MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
• Remove stalk from mushroom. Optional - scrape gills out with a teaspoon (the brown part). I usually only do this if the mushroom is on the small side and I need to make more room for the egg to fit.
• Divide the pasta sauce between the mushrooms and spread.
• Crack an egg into each mushroom.
• Pour cream over the eggs, drizzling to try to cover the whole surface.
• Place mushrooms in the oven for 10 minutes.
• Remove from oven and sprinkle over the cheese, then return to oven.
• Bake for a further 5 minutes or until the egg whites are just set and (hopefully) the yolks are still runny (see note 3 for cooking time guidance). Remember that the eggs will continue to cook after you take them out of the oven.
• Garnish with parsley, if using, then serve immediately.

BAKED EGGS WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 300ºF (150ºC). 2. Butter four 1-cup (250-mL) ramekins or glass dishes. Break an egg into each one and top each egg with a tiny knob of butter. 3. Place ramekins into a baking dish and fill dish with boiling water half way up the sides of the ramekins. Place in the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until egg whites are opaque and yolk is just set but still runny. It will continue to cook once the sauce is spooned over it. Remove ramekins from water bath. 4. While eggs are cooking, heat remaining butter in a skillet over high heat and add mushrooms. Sauté for 2 minutes or until mushrooms are just cooked. Add spinach and cook 1 minute longer or until spinach wilts. Add cream and bring to boil and boil for 2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper and add truffle oil. 5. Divide sauce between ramekins and spoon over eggs. Serve at once with some crusty bread to sop up sauce.

BAKED EGGS WITH POTATOES, MUSHROOMS & CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the potatoes in a pan of water, bring to the boil, cook for 5 mins, then drain. Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Cook the potatoes, mushrooms and garlic for 5-8 mins to soften the mushrooms and brown the edges of the potatoes. Stir in half the thyme and cook for 1 min more.
• Spoon the potato mixture into a baking dish and sprinkle with the cheese and the remaining thyme. Make holes in the mixture and break in 4 eggs. Bake in the oven for 12-15 mins until the eggs are set and the cheese has melted.

MUSHROOM BAKED EGGS WITH SQUISHED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Brush the mushrooms with a little oil and the garlic (if using). Place the mushrooms in two very lightly greased gratin dishes, bottom-side up, and season lightly with pepper. Top with the chopped stalks and thyme, cover with foil and bake for 20 mins.
• Remove the foil, add the tomatoes to the dishes and break an egg carefully onto each of the mushrooms. Season and add a little more thyme, if you like. Return to the oven for 10-12 mins or until the eggs are set but the yolks are still runny. Top with the rocket and eat straight from the dishes.
