Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
Step 2
Remove stalk from mushroom. Optional - scrape gills out with a teaspoon (the brown part). I usually only do this if the mushroom is on the small side and I need to make more room for the egg to fit.
Step 3
Divide the pasta sauce between the mushrooms and spread.
Step 4
Crack an egg into each mushroom.
Step 5
Pour cream over the eggs, drizzling to try to cover the whole surface.
Step 6
Place mushrooms in the oven for 10 minutes.
Step 7
Remove from oven and sprinkle over the cheese, then return to oven.
Step 8
Bake for a further 5 minutes or until the egg whites are just set and (hopefully) the yolks are still runny (see note 3 for cooking time guidance). Remember that the eggs will continue to cook after you take them out of the oven.
Step 9
Garnish with parsley, if using, then serve immediately.
Step 10
