Ingredients

  • 1 – 1 1/2 cups sliced mushrooms
  • 1 shallot, sliced
  • 1 -2 handfuls spinach leaves
  • grapeseed oil (or your choice of oil)
  • 1 egg
  • salt
  • pepper
  • splash of marsala
  • parsley for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

Pre-heat oven to 375.  Grease a 16 ounce oven-safe dish.   In a pan on medium heat, add enough oil to swirl around and coat the bottom.  Add shallots and stir until translucent and aromatic, 1-2 minutes.  Add mushrooms and sauté for about 5 minutes.  Add a splash of marsala and give a good stir.  Add spinach and stir until all the leaves are wilted.  Season with salt and pepper.  Place the veggies in the prepared dish.  Top with the egg.  Place the dish in a pan of water (if the bottom of the dish you are using is unfinished, just place the pan of water on the rack below your dish, otherwise your dish will soak up the water through the unfinished area and crack) and set it the middle of the oven.  Bake for 20 minutes (if you use 2 eggs, bake for 25).  Let the dish cool a few minutes before serving and place on a plate to prevent burning hands or tables.  Garnish with parsley and serve with fresh fruit on the side.
