Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup of mushrooms (button, cremini, or your favorite variety), sliced
- 2 tablespoons of milk or cream (optional, for creamier eggs)
- 1 tablespoon of butter or olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional garnishes: chopped parsley, chives, or grated cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the mushrooms:
- Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and slice them evenly. This ensures uniform cooking.
- Cook the mushrooms:
- Heat the butter or olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 4-5 minutes until they are golden brown and tender. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
- Prepare the eggs:
- Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the milk (if using), and whisk until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Cook the eggs:
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and pour in the egg mixture.
- Stir gently with a spatula, ensuring the eggs cook slowly and remain creamy.
- Combine and finish:
- Once the eggs are almost set but still soft, fold in the sautéed mushrooms.
- Continue to cook for another minute, stirring gently, until the eggs are fully set but not overcooked.
- Serve:
- Plate the scrambled eggs with mushrooms and garnish with fresh parsley, chives, or a sprinkle of cheese, if desired.
