Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

Add mushrooms and thyme, cooking until the mixture is dry.

Preheat the oven to 200°C.

Serve with seasoned salad leaves and herbs dressed in lemon oil.

Spoon the mixture into six buttered ramekin dishes.

Crack an egg into each, add cream, and sprinkle with cheese.

Melt butter in a pan and cook the onion until soft.

Place ramekins in a roasting tin filled halfway with hot water.

Bake for 15 minutes until eggs are set but yolks remain runny.
