I had never even heard of a couple of those things!

Tomato Concasse
To remove peel from tomato, cut an X in the bottom of the tomato. Place in boiling water for about one minute or until you see the peel coming away from the pulp. Place in iced water to stop the cooking process. Remove the peel, squeeze gently to remove the core and the seeds. Chop into small, diced squares.

Mushroom Duxelles
Rich and meaty, duxelles is a mixture of finely chopped mushrooms, shallots, and herbs, simmered in butter and reduced until thick and fragrant.

Actually I often mix mushrooms, onions, garlic, and spices, with butter and simmer until reduced (I often add a little NOTstarch to thicken it) and dump it on almost anything -- eggs, meats, etc. I didn't know it had such a fancy name. :-)
Baking eggs seems like a bit of effort-overkill unless one had guests so it was "pretty", but the idea of "baked parmesan" on top of eggs is new for me. Hmmmmmmmn.
