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 gather three types, we love organizing outings with our fantastic Opinel knives and our baskets made of wicker, and so spend the weekends of this comforting season.

There are so many mushrooms to enjoy, so today I'll give you free rein to choose the ones you like best for this delicious recipe I’m sharing. It’s truffled eggs with mushrooms, prepared in the Le Creuset mini casseroles, a spectacular combination we never tire of at home. In addition, prepared this way, we get a meal or dinner ready in the blink of an eye, or even an ideal appetizer for the most special family meals.

METHOD

1. Preheat the oven to 175ºC.

2. Butter the mini casserole halfway up the sides*.

3. Spread the shallot slices over the bottom of the casseroles and fill halfway with chopped mushrooms.

4. Add a spoonful of cream to which we have added the truffle paste and seasoned with salt and pepper.

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

6. Remove from the oven and serve with bread soldiers.

NOTE: Instead of greasing with butter, you can spread the mini-casserole with truffle oil, you will add a non-stick layer, but you will also enhance the truffle flavor even more.
