Baked eggs with mushrooms and asparagus
Description
This recipe blends sliced mushrooms, chopped asparagus, and garlic tossed in olive oil, initially roasted until the asparagus is tender. Then, eggs are cracked into spaces in the skillet, topped with milk and grated cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper before returning to the oven to bake until the eggs are softly set. The technique ensures that the vegetables remain slightly crisp and flavorful, while the eggs develop a tender texture enhanced by the creamy milk and melty cheese.
The combination of mushrooms and asparagus gives an earthy, fresh vegetable base contrasting with the rich eggs. Cooking everything in one skillet simplifies preparation and cleanup. The final dish is served straight from the oven, making it convenient and warm.
Oven time may vary depending on preference for egg doneness, so monitoring closely near the end of baking is advised. This dish is suitable for breakfast or brunch servings and pairs well with crusty bread.
Ingredients
- 2 oz mushrooms 55g
- 2 oz asparagus 55g, trimmed weight
- 1 clove garlic small
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 egg
- 2 tablespoon milk or cream
- 3 tablespoon cheddar cheese grated, or a cheddar-parmesan blend
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F/200C. Slice the mushrooms, cutting bigger slices in half, and cut the asparagus into bite-sized lengths. Cut the garlic into small dice and toss the mushrooms, asparagus and garlic in the oil in a small skillet.
- Put the skillet with the vegetables in the pre-heated oven for approximately 10 minutes until the asparagus is just tender.
- Create two little spaces in the skillet for the eggs and crack them in. Drizzle over the milk then sprinkle on the cheese along with a little salt and pepper.
- Return to the oven and bake for approximately another 7-8 minutes (depending how well done you want the eggs and on your oven), but keep a close eye on it towards the end. Remember it will continue to cook a little in the hot skillet so you want to take it out slightly early. Serve in the skillet.
