Photo: Mushroom-Spinach Baked Eggs Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1/2 pound white mushrooms, sliced
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 6 cups baby spinach (about 6 ounces)
- 6 slices potato bread, lightly toasted
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup shredded gruyere cheese
Directions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 8 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, undisturbed, until they begin to brown, about 2 minutes. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste; continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 4 more minutes. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
Brush a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with olive oil. Arrange the bread in the dish in a single layer with the edges slightly overlapping, then spoon the mushroom-spinach mixture on top. If making ahead, cover and refrigerate overnight.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Crack an egg onto each piece of bread; season with salt and pepper. Pour the milk evenly over the top and sprinkle with the cheese. Bake until the egg whites are set, 25 to 30 minutes.

I made this dish ahead of time and put it in the fridge. I cooked without the eggs for 15 minutes and then added the eggs and cooked for about 10 more minutes. The eggs came out perfect. It is a very tasty recipe. I think a little parmesan cheese added would be great. Just taste the spinach mixture before assembling and add whatever seasonings you prefer.

Excellent recipe! Made this for Christmas morning and it was a hit. I will definitely recommend this recipe to anyone looking for a tasty, yet easy, brunch idea. I'll concur with everyone else on the 15 minute remark - if you want your eggs over easy be sure to check on them early. We could ours through and everything came well done (egg whites included. Next time, I'll probably dash on a little bit of cayenne pepper to bring a little bit more flavor out of the ingredients, but otherwise I was very pleased with the recipe as is!

At 25mins yolks hard and whites runny. Obviously should drain the spinach.
Will try again because its got the right taste but this one went to the disposal.
