Method

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

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

Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

Spoon the mixture into six buttered ramekin dishes.

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

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

Preheat the oven to 200°C.

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

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