Garlic Mushroom Coddled Eggs

Celebrating earthy mushrooms, spuds and spinach, this easy traybake is a pleasure to make and eat.

SERVES: 4
PREP TIME: 12 MINUTES
COOK TIME: 30 MINUTES

INGREDIENTS

  • 500g mixed mushrooms
  • 100g baby spinach
  • 4 cloves of garlic olive oil
  • 500g potatoes
  • 4 free-range eggs
  • 8 baby cornichons
  • 75g soft goat’s cheese
  • extra virgin olive oil

METHOD

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6. Tear or roughly chop the mushrooms, chop the spinach, then put it all into a 20cm x 30cm roasting tray, peel and finely grate in the garlic, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper and toss well.

  2. Scrub the potatoes, slice as finely as you can, rub with 2 tablespoons of oil, season, then layer over the veg. Roast for 25 minutes, or until lightly golden.

  3. Remove the tray from the oven and mix everything together, then make four little wells and crack in the eggs. Return to the oven for a final 5 minutes, or until the eggs are coddled to your liking.

  4. Finely slice and scatter over the cornichons, spoon over the goat’s cheese, drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil and finish with a pinch of black pepper.
