How to Make Baked Eggs with Mushrooms and Parmesan:

(Scroll down for complete printable recipe.)

  1. Heat the oil and start to cook one pound of brown Cremini mushrooms (also called Baby Bellas). Season the mushrooms with a little salt and fresh ground black pepper.
  2. Cook mushrooms until most of the liquid has evaporated. They will shrink down a lot, like you see here.
  3. Divide mushrooms between mushrooms two ovenproof casserole dishes that you’ve sprayed with non-stick spray or olive oil. (Work quickly so the mushrooms stay hot.)
  4. Carefully break two eggs over the mushrooms in each dish.  Season eggs with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Sprinkle a little fresh-grated Parmesan over the eggs.
  6. Bake at 400F/200C until eggs are done to your liking, about 10 minutes for firm white and still partly-soft yolks. Serve hot.
  7. This is great with toast to dip into the egg, or skip the toast for a low-carb breakfast.

This simple-but-delicious recipe for Baked Eggs with Mushrooms and Parmesan would be a great idea for breakfast that's a big special!

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. brown Cremini (Baby Bella) mushrooms, washed and thickly sliced
  • 1 T olive oil
  • salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 T freshly grated Parmesan
  • 1 T tsp finely chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven or toaster oven to 400F/200C.
  2. Spray 2 individual baking dishes or a flat casserole dish with non-stick spray.
  3. Wash mushrooms and spin dry or dry with paper towels.
  4. Slice mushrooms into slices about 1/2 inch thick.
  5. Heat oil in a large frying pan over high heat and saute mushrooms until they have released all their liquid and the liquid has evaporated, about 6-8 minutes.
  6. Season mushrooms with a little salt and fresh ground black pepper and quickly transfer to baking dishes.
  7. Break two eggs over the mushrooms in each individual dish (or four eggs over all the mushrooms in a casserole dish.)
  8. If you’re not that experienced at breaking eggs, you can break each one into a small bowl and then gently pour it over the mushrooms. (If you don’t mind dirtying extra dishes, it would be nice to have each egg broken into a small dish so you can put them over the mushrooms as quickly as possible.)
  9. Season eggs with a little salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste and sprinkle a little Parmesan over them.
  10. Bake eggs until they are done to your liking, about 10 minutes for firm whites and partly-soft yolks.
  11. If you want toast, make it while the eggs are baking.
  12. Serve hot, with toast if desired.

Notes

Equipment: I baked my eggs in individual oven-proof baking dishes, but if you don’t have any dishes like this you can use a regular casserole dish and bake all the mushrooms and eggs in one dish.

Low-Carb Diet / Low-Glycemic Diet / South Beach Diet Suggestions:
Everything about these Baked Eggs with Mushrooms is great for low-carb and Keto diets if you skip the toast. They’re also a wonderful choice for the original South Beach Diet. If you serve the eggs with whole wheat toast, this would be limited to Phase 2 or 3 for South Beach; without toast it would be great for Phase one.
