Baked Eggs with Caramelized Mushrooms, Onions, and Spinach
I have been having fun making all sorts of variations of baked eggs, like caprese baked eggs, baked eggs with bacon, tomatoes, and sharp cheddar, and herb baked eggs. I was in the mood for an egg dish for breakfast, so I looked in my refrigerator to see what I had on hand. I found some leftover diced onion, spinach, and baby button mushrooms. I served these tasty baked eggs with a piece of really great toast (Dave’s Killer Bread – Good Seed), and they were so fantastic. My husband and I both felt these eggs were rich, creamy, and extra delicious, and paired nicely with some twisted bacon and crispy hash browns.
Baked Eggs with Caramelized Mushrooms, Onions, and Spinach
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp butter (or olive oil), plus more for ramekins
-  ½ yellow onion, diced
- 1 cup of baby button mushrooms, sliced in half
- 1 cup of baby spinach
- 3 eggs
- 3 tsp heavy cream
- Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
How to Make Baked Eggs with Caramelized Mushrooms, Onions, and Spinach:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat three small ramekins with butter.
Heat the butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, and cook, stirring often, for about 3 minutes.
Add the mushrooms, and cook for 2-3 minutes before stirring. Once the mushrooms are golden brown and the onions are tender, add the minced garlic and spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Remove from the skillet and divide equally into the three ramekins.
Crack an egg into each ramekin, being careful not to break the yolks.
Add 1 tsp of milk into each ramekin. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
Place on a baking tray and bake for 5 minutes.
Turn the oven to broil and cook for another 5 minutes or until the whites are set, but the yolk remains soft.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Enjoy.

I absolutely love eggs, and I love eggs with onion! Congrats to the giveaway winner!
That looks like a fast and easy breakfast. I need more egg things in my repertoire.
I tried a similar recipe eons ago that was terrible. I think it's because they didn't do like you did – they didn't cook the ingredients enough beforehand. I think your recipe looks like a real winner!!!
These eggs look yummy!!!
