Hopefully someone answers this asap as i'm starving! ;)

I have some large mushrooms and was going to crack an egg into them and pop them in the oven, do I part cook the mushrooms first or I do I just pop everything in together, I don't want the eggs cooked and the mushrooms only half cooked :yuk: gonna have them with toast & beans :)

Thanks :)
 
Im not sure of the official answer but part cook the mushroom just to be safe :)
 
Ahhhh I completely messed up, tried to bake them a bit first and when I cracked the eggs into them they went everywhere so had to throw it all out, 2nd time around I didn't bake them first just put everything in together and half way through cooking the eggs came out of the mushrooms so so far today i've wasted 4 portobello mushrooms and 4 eggs!!! Have a feeling its gonna be one of those days!!

Oh gosh!

Maybe you should leave that recipe for a while and come back to it at a future date!
 
Why not grill the mushrooms & poach or dry fry the eggs.....I just have an image of your poor oven now!

haha thankfully the oven was fine, the baking tray looked bad lol

Yeah that's what I'll do from now Kim, much easier!! :)
 
what i do with this is: i scrape out the black bit inside the mushroom to make it a bit deeper and dont peel them that way they stay a bit more firmer
im haveing large mushrooms in the morning but am filling them with philly light and cooked bacon or ham then put in the oven for about 20 mins

Yeah I'm gonna give up on the eggs and try different stuff!
 
I put tomato puree on them and put all toppings that I would put on a pizza. It's yummy :)
 
Wow what a coincidence lol! I was gonna post the exact same question earlier as I needed a quick tea. Got lovely field mushrooms but didn't know what to do with them. Thought about cracking the egg in them, but ended up chopping them and cooking with peppers. I had them with dry fried eggs and beans on toast. Def gonna try the cheese and bacon filling and pizza ideas. I wonder how quark and garlic with bacon would do? Let the experimenting begin :)
 
Try these!

Hi can anyone tell me how to cook mushrooms so they dont go watery if I bake fry grill water always squirts out when I cut them thanks
 
i was once told to cook them until the water has all gone, and also dont wash them first as they soak up the water
