Baked Egg for One

Here is another dish from Judith Jones'

"The Pleasures of Cooking for One"

Grate one cup of zucchini into a strainer, add a 1/2 tsp of salt and let drain into a bowl.

Go easy on the salt; I over did it.

Melt 2 tsp butter in small skillet.


Saute 3 small mushrooms, finely chopped, and 1 scallion, finally chopped, for 1 minute.

Squeeze the zucchini real well to eliminate as much juice as possible and stir it into the pan.

Add 2 tsp heavy cream and cook for 3-4 minutes until almost tender.

Transfer vegetables to small gratin dish.

Crack an egg into a small indentation made with the back of a spoon.

Season with salt and pepper.
Drizzle 2 more tsps of heavy cream on top.

Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

Bake in pre-heated 350 degree oven for 15-18 minutes,

until egg is set.

A delicious light supper.
