A Great Breakfast or First Course - bjcotton - 03-12-2009
I found this recipe in the LCBO Food & Drink Holiday 2008 issue. I had fixed it before, but made it for Paul this morning. It is excellent. I did; however,add a couple of gratings of nutmeg.

Baked Eggs w/Mushroom Sauce
Recipe By :
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : A List Eggs-Dairy-Breakfast
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 tablespoons butter
4 large eggs
8 ounces sliced mixed mushrooms, including shiitake and oyster
4 cups packed baby spinach
3/4 cup whipping cream
salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 drops truffle oil or to taste
Preheat oven to 300°F.
Butter four 1-cup ramekins or glass dishes. Break an egg into each one and top each egg with a tiny knob of butter.
Place ramekins into a baking dish and fill dish with boiling water halfway 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.
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.
Divide sauce between ramekins and spoon over eggs. Serve at once with some crusty bread to sop up sauce.

NOTES : I cooked the eggs a little longer since I like them a little better done. The sauce had to cook a little longer too for it to thicken sufficiently.

You know Billy, even with the slightly runny egg, this sounds good to me. (I think it may be the fact it's on the bottom.) It doesn't sound hard, and I bet it looks elegant, too! Add some bacon on the side, and I won't need to eat 'til dinner! Copied and saved.

Oh my, this does sound very good, and Daph, you're right seems very elegeant too. Would make a good weekend morning treat.

That's what I'm thinking, Cis! I also think champagne would be the perfect accompaniment! The first Saturday I can get my butt out of bed and make this before William gets off to the camp, I'm making it. On second thought, it being individual sizes, I could get up after he leaves and take it out to the farm and serve him there...wouldn't that be cool!

Billy, how dare you post an egg recipe
Don't you know I cook about 300 eggs and omelets every day??? Just teasing, this sounds very good. Believe it or not, I haven't lost my taste for eggs....yet! Copied and printed, thank you!PJ

OOoooo, champagne, that'd be perfect. This Saturday for sure!

Oh I think I found a new dish for Father's Day
Thanks Billy!

Oh yes, Saturday morning brunch, here we come! Billy, please tell me you had some truffle oil to use and Paul liked it!!! (I sure don't remember seeing this on in the mag. thanks Billy!)
...and maybe just the lightest sprinkling of fontina cheese as it comes out of the oven.
Meet everyone at the brunch table Saturday a.m.!!
Re: A Great Breakfast or First Course - chef_Tab - 03-13-2009
Gosh, the only problem I see with this recipe is that I wonder if everyone would need two ramekins full! It does sound really good. Love the idea of topping with fontina too.
