Categories     appetizer

Time 35m

Yield Six servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 pound fresh mushrooms
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/4 cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
Salt to taste, if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
12 eggs
French bread or buttered toast

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Thinly slice the mushrooms and sprinkle with lemon juice. Chop finely. Blend with the cream. This may be done in a food processor or electric blender.
  • Heat one tablespoon of the butter in a saucepan and add the shallots. Cook, stirring, about one minute and add the mushroom mixture. Cook about five minutes. There should be about two cups.
  • Lightly grease 12 ramekins, about 1 1/2 inches deep and 3 inches in diameter, with the remaining three tablespoons of butter. Sprinkle the bottoms with salt and pepper.
  • Spoon an equal portion of the mushroom mixture into the bottom of each ramekin, but reserve a small portion to use as garnish. Keep it warm.
  • Break one egg into each ramekin and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Arrange the ramekins in a baking dish and pour boiling water around them. This will keep them from baking too rapidly. Bake 10 to 12 minutes. When cooked, the whites should be firm and the yolks liquid or just starting to firm. Do not overcook.
  • Spoon a little of the reserved mushroom mixture on top of each serving. Serve two to each guest along with French bread or buttered toast. The traditional method of serving dishes in ramekins is to cover a small plate with a napkin, then place the ramekin on the napkin. Provide each guest with a salad fork and a small spoon.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my eggs turned out overcooked. The mushrooms were also a bit too salty. I think I'll try this recipe again with some adjustments.

I added some chopped spinach to the eggs and it was delicious! I also used a different type of cheese, but it still turned out great.

I'm not usually a fan of mushrooms, but I really enjoyed them in this dish. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the cheese was melted and gooey. I will definitely be making this again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the eggs turned out perfectly. They were cooked through but still had a soft, custardy center. The mushrooms and cheese were also cooked to perfection.

This dish was absolutely delicious! The mushrooms added a rich, earthy flavor to the eggs, and the cheese was perfectly melted and gooey. I will definitely be making this again.
