Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Mushrooms
- 2 large Egg whites
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives
Instructions
Begin by cleaning the mushrooms. If necessary, gently wipe them with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Slice them thinly and set aside.
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the egg whites for extra protein, along with the milk. Beat them together using a whisk until well combined. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is warm, add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet.
Sauté the mushrooms until they are golden brown and their moisture has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture over the sautéed mushrooms in the skillet.
Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for a few moments, then gently stir with a spatula. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until eggs are scrambled to your desired consistency.
Once the eggs are cooked, remove them from the heat. Add chopped chives for a touch of color and flavor.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional chives if desired. Enjoy your high-protein scrambled eggs with mushrooms!
