To make baked mushrooms with egg, remove the stems from large mushroom caps and arrange the caps in a baking dish. Crack an egg into each, season, and bake until the whites are set. Add cheese or herbs if you like.
Large portobello or button mushroom caps work best for baked mushrooms with egg because their hollow centers hold an egg. Smaller mushrooms can be used too, but chopping them and baking them with beaten egg in a dish is easier.
To keep baked mushrooms with egg from getting watery, dry the mushrooms well after cleaning and avoid crowding them in the dish. For especially large caps, bake them briefly first and pour off any liquid before adding the eggs.
Yes, briefly baking the caps first can help baked mushrooms with egg cook more evenly, especially when the mushrooms are large. It also gives excess moisture time to escape before you add the eggs.
Add the eggs after the mushroom caps have softened slightly if you want a runny yolk. For a firmer yolk, crack the eggs in earlier and bake until both the whites and yolks are set.
Yes, cheese works well in baked mushrooms with egg. Sprinkle grated cheddar or another melting cheese over the mushrooms near the end of baking, so it melts and browns without overcooking the egg.
Baked mushrooms with egg usually take about 15–20 minutes, depending on the oven and the size of the caps. Check that the egg whites are fully set, and start checking earlier if you prefer runny yolks.
You can clean and arrange the mushrooms for baked mushrooms with egg ahead of time, but wait to crack in the eggs until just before baking. That keeps the mushrooms from releasing liquid while they sit and the eggs from becoming overcooked.
Serve baked mushrooms with egg with toast, a green salad, or roasted tomatoes for a simple meal. For brunch, fresh fruit or sautéed greens make easy additions without taking attention away from the mushroom and egg.
Store leftover baked mushrooms with egg in a covered container in the refrigerator and eat them the next day. Reheat until hot throughout; the egg may become firmer, so gentle reheating helps preserve its texture.

Baked mushrooms with egg is a straightforward oven dish: mushrooms are topped or filled with egg and baked until the egg sets to your liking. It is a flexible home-cooked preparation rather than a dish tied to one particular region, and herbs, cheese or spices can be added to suit what you have on hand.
The mushrooms turn tender and juicy, while the egg can remain soft or bake until firm. Serve it hot for brunch or a light main meal, with toast, a crisp salad or cooked greens. It is a protein-rich, low-carbohydrate choice; a 100 g portion provides 7.1 g of protein. For a lighter plate, use a modest amount of oil and pair it with plenty of vegetables.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
