Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 large large eggs The base for your fluffy and protein-packed scramble.
- 8 ounces fresh mushrooms Bring earthy depth and meaty texture to your breakfast.
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter Helps sauté mushrooms perfectly.
- to taste Salt Essential seasoning to enhance flavors.
- to taste Pepper Essential seasoning to enhance flavors.
- 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (parsley, chives, or thyme) Add brightness and a fresh pop to your scramble.
- 1/4 cup grated cheese (cheddar, feta, or Parmesan) Melts into creamy pockets for indulgent bites.
- 1 clove garlic Optional, for a subtle aromatic kick.
Instructions
Preparation
- Start by cleaning the mushrooms and slicing them into thin pieces. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Season with a dash of salt and pepper.
- Pro Tip: Use a fork or whisk to thoroughly mix the eggs for fluffier results.
Cooking
- In a medium-sized non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender.
- Pro Tip: Don’t overcrowd the skillet, as this will steam the mushrooms instead of sautéing them.
- If you’re opting for an extra burst of flavor, add minced garlic to the pan and sauté for an additional minute until it becomes fragrant.
- Pro Tip: Keep an eye on the garlic; it can burn quickly!
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, and pour the beaten eggs over the sautéed mushrooms in the skillet. Allow the mixture to sit undisturbed for a few seconds to let the eggs start to set.
- Pro Tip: If you prefer creamier eggs, avoid stirring too early.
- Using a silicone spatula, gently stir the mixture every few seconds, scraping the bottom of the pan. The goal is to let the uncooked egg flow to the bottom while the cooked egg rises. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Pro Tip: For ultimate fluffiness, remove the skillet from heat when the eggs are still slightly undercooked; they will continue to cook with residual heat.
- Once the eggs reach your desired consistency, stir in fresh herbs and your choice of grated cheese. Let the mixture sit for an additional minute to allow the cheese to melt.
- Pro Tip: Reserve a little cheese to sprinkle on top for visual appeal.
- Transfer the scramble to plates and serve hot.
- Pro Tip: Pair your scramble with toasted bread for a satisfying crunch!
