instructions
    1

    Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).

    2

    In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and add the chopped mushrooms. Sauté for about 5 minutes until mushrooms are tender.

    3

    Add salt and pepper, stirring to combine, and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

    4

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cream and grated cheese. Add a pinch of salt and pepper for extra flavor.

    5

    Divide the sautéed mushrooms into four ramekins. Carefully crack an egg into each ramekin on top of the mushrooms.

    6

    Pour the cream mixture over the eggs, covering them evenly.

    7

    Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with hot water halfway up the sides of the ramekins. This will help the eggs cook gently.

    8

    Bake in preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny. Keep an eye on them!

    9

    Once baked, remove from oven, and sprinkle chopped parsley on top for garnish.
