Husband in the kitchen: Baked Maggi with Eggs and Mushrooms (Serves:4 ; Preparation Time: 45 minutes)

Guest Blogger: Amit Rajvanshy

Like everyone else, I too like to have my Maggi, my own unique way.

While on any busy day, I religiously follow the instructions on the pack, this recipe is for those special mornings when one is in a mood for something more elaborate. I first surprised Ishita with this brunch recipe on a Saturday morning right after her pre-natal Yoga class; since then, its one of her favourite too!

This recipe is a cross between a baked omelet and an elaborate Maggi. You will need a whole lot of eggs, 2 packets of Maggi, some sesame seeds and mushrooms. It is a moderately complex recipe and can be enjoyed on a leisurely Sunday morning.



Ingredients

Baked Maggi with Eggs and Mushrooms

• 2 packs of Maggi and taste maker from one of them
• 3 egg yolks and 9 egg whites, whisked
• 1 tsp sesame seeds
• 3-4 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed

• 3 medium sized spring onions (only bulbs), chopped
• 1 pack of mushrooms, washed and chopped
• 3 tbsp of oil
• 2 tsp of sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• Soy sauce and vinegar, to taste

Steps

• Add ginger and garlic and saute for another 1-2 minutes; add Maggi's taste maker and blend well
  
• Add chopped onions and mushroom and saute for 5-7 minutes on medium flame, stirring continuously; turn the heat down once onion is lightly browned
  
• Toss Maggi into the pan and mix well with the cooked onion and mushrooms
