Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large caps Portabella mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 6 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Chives
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven’s broiler to high and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Clean the portabella mushroom caps by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and use a spoon to scrape out the gills, if desired.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Brush this mixture generously over both sides of the mushroom caps.
Place the mushroom caps on the prepared baking sheet, gill side up, and broil for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the mushrooms are broiling, crack the eggs into a medium bowl and whisk them together. Add the heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to the eggs and mix well.
Heat a non-stick skillet over low heat and add the butter. Once melted, pour in the egg mixture.
Cook the eggs slowly, stirring continuously with a spatula to form creamy curds. This process should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove the eggs from the heat while they are still slightly runny, as they will continue to cook from residual heat.
Chop the fresh chives and parsley, and gently fold them into the scrambled eggs. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
To serve, spoon the creamy scrambled eggs onto the broiled portabella caps. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top for an extra layer of flavor.
Garnish with additional chopped chives or parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
