Baked Eggs with Chanterelles & Cream

There's nothing better than a long weekend to relax and recharge. My husband and I stayed home on Monday and used it as an extra day to laze about and catch up on things after I was away on business last week. I made these baked eggs that are super simple but feel a little indulgent from the chanterelles and cream. The eggs are essentially a blank canvas, so really any type of mushroom or vegetable would work here. It's a great way to use up leftovers in your pantry or to treat yourself to a small amount of something fancy, like I did with these special chanterelles from the farmers market. Make sure to serve with some nice toast and enjoy.

Baked Eggs with Chanterelle Mushrooms and Cream:

• Drizzle 2-3 tbsp. of heavy cream on top, then sprinkle with a handful of grated Parmesan cheese and salt and pepper.
• Bake eggs in a 400F oven for 7-9 minutes, or until whites are set and yolks are still slightly runny.
