Ingredients
- 2 große large eggs
- 80ml heavy cream
- 50g mushrooms, sliced
- 30g grated Gruyère cheese
- 1 EL butter
- 1 EL fresh parsley, chopped
- Prise salt
- Prise freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Grease two small ramekins (cocottes) with butter.
- Sauté the mushrooms briefly in a little butter in a small pan until lightly browned. Distribute them evenly at the bottom of the ramekins.
- Carefully crack one egg into each ramekin on top of the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper.
- Pour half of the heavy cream over each egg and sprinkle with the grated cheese.
- Place the ramekins in a larger baking dish filled with hot water (bain-marie), ensuring the water comes halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still runny.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately, perhaps with baguette for dipping.
