1
Prepare the Béchamel Sauce
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook for 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk, and cook until the sauce thickens. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. Set aside.
2
Sauté the Wild Mushrooms
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the wild mushrooms and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and golden. Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Mix this into the béchamel sauce.
3
Assemble the Dish
In a baking dish, spread a layer of the béchamel sauce with mushrooms and spinach. Place slices of brie cheese evenly over the sauce.
4
Add the Eggs
Crack the eggs over the brie and season them with salt and pepper. Drizzle the truffle oil over the top.
5
Bake
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the dish for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your liking and the top is golden.
6
Serve
Let cool slightly before serving. Drizzle additional truffle oil on top if desired.
