Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease four 8-ounce ramekins with butter or cooking spray and place them on a baking sheet.
  2. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add minced shallots and sauté for about 3 minutes until translucent.
  3. Stir in sliced mushrooms with a pinch of kosher salt, sauté for 5 minutes until mushrooms are tender. Add chopped thyme and remove from heat.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 eggs, 3/4 cup whole milk, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper until smooth.
  5. Distribute the sautéed mixture evenly among the ramekins, sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top, then pour the egg mixture over, filling just below the rim.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and set. If the center wobbles, bake for a few more minutes.
  7. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm.
