Round Le Creuset mini cocottes and Opinel mushroom knife

In autumn we are lucky that our forests fill with fungi and mushrooms, and although we only dare to collect three types ourselves, we love planning excursions with our fantastic Opinel knives and our baskets made of wicker and spend the weekends of this comforting season that way.

There are so many mushrooms to enjoy, so today I give you carte blanche to choose the ones you like best for this delicious recipe I present to you. These are truffled eggs with mushrooms, prepared in the Le Creuset mini casseroles, a spectacular combination that we will never tire of at home. Also, prepared this way, we achieve a meal or dinner made in the blink of an eye, or even an ideal appetizer for the most special family meals.

• 4 XL eggs
• 2 shallots, thinly sliced
• Wild mushrooms
• 100 ml cream 35% fat

5. Finally we place an egg in each mini-casserole, the slices of truffle and bake for about 10 minutes or until the white has set. Keep in mind that every oven is different and the time will always be indicative.

NOTE: Instead of lining with butter, you can grease the mini-casserole with truffle oil, you will be adding a non-stick layer but you will also further enhance the truffle flavor.
