Earthy mushrooms, savory garlic, and herbs are sautéed to perfection, then topped with gently baked eggs. Ideal for low-carb, vegetarian, or gluten-free diets, it’s a nourishing way to start your day.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 1 small shallot or 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms (cremini, button, or mixed)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme or 1 tsp fresh thyme
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan or Gruyère (optional)
  • Fresh parsley or chives, for garnish
  • Toast or crusty bread, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In an oven-safe skillet or cast iron pan, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add chopped shallot and sauté for 2 minutes until softened.
  • Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are browned and moisture has evaporated.
  • Stir in garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 more minute.
  • Use a spoon to make 4 small wells in the mushroom mixture and crack an egg into each well.
  • Sprinkle with Parmesan or Gruyère if using.
  • Transfer skillet to the oven and bake for 8–12 minutes, or until eggs are set to your liking (less time for runny yolks, more for firm).
  • Remove from oven, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve immediately with toast or as-is for a low-carb meal.

Notes

  • Use any mushrooms you like — shiitake or wild mushrooms add extra depth.
  • Add spinach or kale to the sauté for extra greens.
  • For dairy-free, skip the cheese or use a plant-based alternative.
  • If you don’t have an oven-safe skillet, transfer mushroom mixture to a small baking dish before cracking in the eggs.
