Ingredients

Scale

Mushrooms and Egg Base

  • 2 large Portobello mushrooms
  • 2 eggs

Sauce and Cream

  • 3 tbsp pasta sauce (or pizza sauce or other preferred sauce)
  • 4 tbsp cream (1/4 cup)

Cheese and Garnish

  • 4 tbsp grated cheese OR 2 slices of cheese (any cheese good for melting, such as tasty cheese)
  • Fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) to prepare for baking the mushrooms and eggs evenly.
  2. Prepare Mushrooms: Remove the stalk from each mushroom. Optionally, scrape out the gills with a teaspoon if the mushroom is small to create more space for the egg.
  3. Add Sauce: Divide the pasta sauce evenly between the mushrooms and spread it inside to form a flavorful base.
  4. Crack Eggs: Carefully crack one egg into the hollow of each mushroom to avoid breaking the yolk.
  5. Add Cream: Pour the cream over the eggs, drizzling it to cover as much of the egg surface as possible for richness.
  6. Bake Initial Time: Place the mushrooms on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 10 minutes to start setting the eggs.
  7. Add Cheese: Remove the mushrooms from the oven and sprinkle the grated or sliced cheese evenly over the top of each mushroom.
  8. Final Bake: Return the mushrooms to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until egg whites are just set and yolks remain runny if desired. Note that residual heat will continue cooking the eggs after removal.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley if using, and serve immediately to enjoy the warm, melty, and flavorful dish.

Notes

  • Choose large Portobello mushrooms for ample space to hold the egg and toppings.
  • Any tomato-based sauce works well; pasta sauce, pizza sauce, or other preferred sauces add flavor.
  • Adjust baking time slightly depending on how runny or firm you prefer your egg yolks; under 10-15 minutes baking will yield runny yolks.
  • The eggs will keep cooking slightly from residual heat once removed from the oven, so it is best to take them out just as whites are set.
