Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Portobello mushroom caps
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 8 pieces Cherry tomatoes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Prepare the Portobello mushrooms by gently wiping them clean with a damp paper towel. Carefully remove the stems and scrape out the gills using a spoon to create a hollow space for the eggs.
Brush both sides of the mushroom caps with olive oil and sprinkle them with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Place the seasoned mushroom caps gill-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Crack one egg into each mushroom cap, being careful not to let the egg overflow. If the mushrooms are small, consider discarding a bit of the egg white to prevent spills.
Optional: Arrange cherry tomatoes around the mushrooms on the baking sheet for a roasted accompaniment.
Bake the mushrooms in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your desired doneness (their whites should be fully cooked, but yolks can remain runny or firm based on preference).
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and garnish each mushroom cap with chopped fresh parsley or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if desired.
Serve the Portobello eggs warm, optionally alongside the roasted cherry tomatoes. Enjoy this wholesome and flavorful dish!
