Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 500g potatoes, diced
- 2 shallots, sliced
- 200g small mushrooms
Other Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp dried crushed oregano or 1 tsp fresh oregano leaves
- 4 eggs
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Heat the oven to 200C (fan 180C) or gas mark 6 to prepare for roasting the vegetables and eggs.
- Prepare Vegetables: Place the diced potatoes and sliced shallots into a large, non-stick roasting tin. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle over the dried or fresh oregano. Mix everything thoroughly to coat the vegetables evenly with the oil and herbs.
- Roast Vegetables: Bake the potatoes and shallots for 15 minutes in the preheated oven to start softening and browning the vegetables.
- Add Mushrooms: After the initial roasting, add the small mushrooms to the tin with the potatoes and shallots, then return to the oven and cook for an additional 10 minutes until the potatoes are browned and tender, and mushrooms are cooked through.
- Add Eggs: Make four small gaps in the roasted vegetables and carefully crack one egg into each gap.
- Bake Eggs: Return the roasting tin to the oven for 3-4 minutes, cooking the eggs to your preferred level of doneness, ensuring the whites are set while yolks remain runny or firm based on preference.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve immediately. Optionally, enhance the meal with baked beans or grilled tomatoes for extra nutrition.
Notes
- You can substitute dried oregano with fresh oregano leaves for a milder, fresher flavor.
- Adjust egg cooking time to ensure yolks are cooked according to your preference.
- This dish pairs well with baked beans or grilled tomatoes to increase vegetable servings.
- Use a non-stick roasting tin to prevent vegetables from sticking and for easier cleanup.
