How to serve Baked Eggs with Mushrooms
Baked eggs are often enjoyed with toast. The toast serves as the perfect vehicle for scooping up the creamy mushroom mixture and egg yolk. No need to be fancy here, just tear off a piece of toast (or a crispy baguette) and dive right in! You can also spoon the mushroom mixture right onto your toast for an extra tasty bite.
And if you are skipping bread altogether, you can also enjoy them straight out of the ramekins with a teaspoon. Or gently slide a knife around the edge of the ramekins and flip them onto a plate for a little extra flair. This is especially nice if you are enjoying the baked eggs with a side salad. This dish pairs wonderfully with a side of fresh arugula salad tossed in a light vinaigrette.

Ramekin Baked Eggs with Mushrooms
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter

Method
-
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly oil or butter 4 small ramekins.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over low heat and fry the shallot until softened. Add the mushrooms, increase the heat, and fry until the mushrooms are golden, about 7-8 minutes.
