Mushrooms, Cheese, Eggs and Ham Breakfast Special

I'mPat's Note:

From Recipes+ a delicious breakfast dish, I have made this but scaled it back for 1, you could make in individual dishes and serve in those dishes, have posted for 4 as per recipe. They recommend you can use salami instead of ham, so if you like a bit of bite try hot salami.

• Total Time: 25 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 4 (1.15 lb) mushrooms (flat well opened)
• 0.44 lb ham (finely sliced or salami, hot if you like bite)
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 3/4 cup cheddar cheese (tasty coarsely grated)
• 4 eggs (large)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 200C (180C fan forced).
2. Arrange mushrooms and ham in a 27cm x 17cm (base measurement) ovenproof dish.
3. Drizzle the mushrooms with oil.
4. Bake for 10 minutes.
5. Sprinkle mushrooms with cheese and bake for 5 minutes more.
6. Carefully crack eggs onto the ham and bake for 5 minutes more or until cheese is melted and eggs cooked to your liking.
7. Season with salt and pepper and serve at once.

Just superb! We absolutely loved this dish, for an amazing brunch. I added some freshly chopped globe basil to the top of the dish, otherwise made as stated. We had no problem eating this dish with just the two of us ;) I made it in a pie plate as the dish stated required a 9 x 13 pan which seemed a little large. Just a quick note for a metric conversion, 200 c is approx. 375 to 400 F. I was a little worried that this would stick in my pie plate, but no worries, it came out fine with a little coaxing! Made for Aussie Swap! :)

You saved me!! I'm currently on a no-carb type diet for 2 weeks (not the healthiest way to lose weight, but it works for me!) and I am so sick of scrambled eggs for breakfast every morning. This is absolutely delicious! I used salami and it was very good. Although, I think I'd be just as happy without the added meat, so next time I'll just do the mushrooms, cheese and eggs. This recipe is going into my best of the best file!

I too am reducing my carb intake and was excited to see this recipe. It didn't work as well as I had hoped; the eggs took quite a while to get done and I ended up with the feeling that it would have been easier if I had cooked it all on the pan. Maybe my bowl for the oven was too heavy?
