Eggs with Mushrooms and Spinach

GOOD TO KNOW Cooking in parchment packets is a low-fat, no-mess technique for preparing eggs. Here, mushrooms and spinach—and a mere drizzle of olive oil—are baked along with the eggs for a delicious meal any time of day.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4

Ingredients

1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil, plus more for brushing
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed of excess liquid
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, trimmed and coarsely chopped
8 large eggs
Coarse salt and ground pepper

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Cut four 24-inch-long pieces of parchment; fold each piece in half, then cut into a half-heart shape. Unfold and place two pieces on each of two rimmed baking sheets.

    Step 2

    Brush half of each parchment heart with oil. Place spinach and mushrooms on oiled halves of parchment. Crack 2 eggs over each and drizzle each with 1 teaspoon oil. Season with salt and pepper. Fold each packet into a ā€œclassicā€ shape (see page 19).

    Step 3

    Bake until packets are fully puffed (egg whites will be set), rotating sheets from top to bottom and front to back halfway through, 6 to 9 minutes. Serve immediately.

  2. note

    Step 4

    This recipe works best with white parchment; the brown type absorbs more heat, leading to overcooked eggs.
