Baked Eggs with Mushrooms and Parmesan
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
- Preheat oven or toaster oven to 400F/200C.
- Spray 2 individual baking dishes or a flat casserole dish with non-stick spray.
- Wash mushrooms and spin dry or dry with paper towels.
- Slice mushrooms into slices about 1/2 inch thick.
- 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.
- Season mushrooms with a little salt and fresh ground black pepper and quickly transfer to baking dishes.
- Break two eggs over the mushrooms in each individual dish (or four eggs over all the mushrooms in a casserole dish.)
- 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.)
- Season eggs with a little salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste and sprinkle a little Parmesan over them.
- Bake eggs until they are done to your liking, about 10 minutes for firm whites and partly-soft yolks.
- If you want toast, make it while the eggs are baking.
- 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.

Made this for breakfast today and it was fabulous!! I sprinkled a bit of hot and spicy Spike seasoning on the eggs before baking just for a twist. This may be a "breakfast for supper" recipe too! Thanks, Kalyn!
Lover baked eggs – we have them often for a first course… Too lazy to do for breakfast 😉
Donna and Jacqueline, so glad you like it!
I love you Kalyn. You are a genius. I am having this tomorrow for breakfast and now I can't wait to get up in the morning to try it! Better get to bed!
Eggs + muchrooms = A match made in heaven!
Doren and Jeanette, yaay! Glad it's working for you.
What a great idea of breakfast – I have two packs of portobello mushrooms sitting in my fridge from a class I was supposed to teach but was canceled due to the blizzard. This would be the perfect way to use some of them up. Making this for breakfast!
I have cremini at home; this is definitely tomorrow's breakfast. Thanks Kalyn!
So glad people are liking this. And I do like the idea of making the whole thing in a skillet; going to try that!
I love it — a deconstructed mushroom and cheese omelet!
I wish I had seen this recipe before I went grocery shopping (no mushrooms 🙁 ). I've never baked eggs but I'm made shakshuka with spinahc and feta (it was really good). If you made this dish that way you could save the casserole dishes and it would save time on clean-up.
I made this last night for myself and just halved the recipe. (In honor of the first day of Lent and my tradition of eating only eggs for protein that day.) So good and I baked it in the toaster oven in one of my low-sided soup/cereal bowls that is oven safe. Very good – I'll be making this again.
Don't worry Kalyn, I am right there with you with the lack of V-Day recipes! Baked eggs are such a great idea for brunch and when you are feeding a crowd!
Julie, great idea!
This is also a great idea for a meatless evening meal–good timing since Lent has begun.
Kate, you have my permission to eat it all!
Thanks Pam! And good toast is essential.
I have been wanting to try a baked egg recipe for ages … and I think i have some cremini mushrooms in the fridge from a recipe that I didn't make last week! Score!
This is my kinda breakfast and lunch and dinner… I would not want to share this breakfast with anyone! Including my Valentine!! 😉
Joanne, I like the way you think!
I see definite breakfast-in-bed potential here! Great idea!
