Steps

1. 1

   Begin by preheating the oven to 400°F and position the racks in both the upper and lower thirds. Take four 24-inch-long parchment paper pieces, fold them in half, then carefully cut them into half-heart shapes. Unfold the parchment papers and arrange two pieces on each of two rimmed baking sheets to prepare for baking.

2. 2

   Divide the parchment hearts in half and brush one side of each with oil. Arrange spinach and mushrooms on the oiled halves. Carefully crack 2 eggs onto each portion and then drizzle with 1 teaspoon of oil per packet. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Fold each parchment packet into a "classic" shape for baking.

3. 3

   Place the packets in the oven and bake until they are completely puffed up, ensuring that the egg whites are fully cooked and set. Rotate the baking sheets halfway through the cooking process by moving them from top to bottom and front to back. The baking time should be around 6 to 9 minutes. Once done, serve the dish immediately.
