Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onions and mushrooms for 10 minutes or until richly browned. Add in the red pepper and sun-dried tomatoes and sauté about 8 minutes. Add in the Italian seasoning, salt and pepper and sauté 1 minute.
-
Add the mushroom mixture to a large bowl, allow to cool for 2 minutes. Add in the egg, breadcrumbs, milk and walnuts. Mix gently. Divide the mixture among all the ramekins, pressing down on the mixture to fit all the ramekins.

Set the ramekins onto a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes until the top is browned. Run a knife around each ramekin to loosen the loaf
