Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 200 g mixed mushrooms wild or cultivated, sliced
  • 6 large eggs preferably farm-fresh
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for sautéing
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or parsley, chopped
  • 50 g Parmesan cheese grated
  • to taste salt and pepper for seasoning

Equipment

  • Ovenproof skillet
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Slice the mixed mushrooms into thin, even pieces and set aside.
  2. Heat the olive oil in your ovenproof skillet over medium heat until it shimmers and releases a nutty aroma.
  3. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden and aromatic.
  4. Add the minced garlic and thyme to the mushrooms and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  5. While the mushrooms cook, crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk vigorously until frothy and well combined.
  6. Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the cooked mushrooms in the skillet, tilting the pan slightly to distribute the eggs uniformly.
  7. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Cook on the stovetop for 2-3 minutes until the edges begin to set and the bottom is lightly golden.
  9. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, until the top is puffed and golden, and the eggs are just set.
  10. Remove from the oven, let rest for 5 minutes to finish setting, then slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
