This is such a great low carb breakfast option, made with simple and unprocessed ingredients, they are such a great way to start the day. The mushrooms are so meaty and their earthiness works so well with the rich and creamy egg.
The eggs
Eggs are rich in vitamins D, B6 and B12 as well as minerals like zinc and iron. They contain a good amount of protein and are loaded with healthy fats.
The mushrooms
Portobello mushrooms contain a lot of antioxidants and are high in vitamin D and B. They are naturally low in calories, fat and sodium and are a good source of dietary fiber.
Use Fresh Eggs!
For the best tasting breakfast, make sure your eggs are fresh, and if possible, buy free run / organic eggs.
To check if your eggs are fresh before using them, place them in a bowl of water. If they sink to the bottom they are good to use. If they float to the top, it’s best to discard them.
How To Prep Portobello Mushrooms
It’s best not to wash mushrooms under water as they will absorb the water and steam when they are cooked which can make them mushy.
You can either wipe the mushrooms with a damp cloth, or peel off the outer skin.

Use fresh eggs for the best flavor! I’ll check them with the water test sinking is a good sign, while floating means it’s time to discard. Thanks for the great recipe!
