This delicious breakfast can be put together with the following 5 ingredients

• Portobello mushroom caps
• Large eggs
• Extra virgin olive oil

How to Fix The Best Baked Egg Mushrooms

The great thing about finding a recipe with simple ingredients is that it also often means less prep, clean-up, and overall time in the kitchen.

Step 1

Clean the mushroom caps with a damp cloth. You don’t want to fully soak the mushrooms as it can take away some of the natural flavors and make it harder to cook through properly. Once you have the mushrooms clean, you can brush them with olive oil, sprinkle on a pinch of sea salt and black pepper, and then place them in an even layer on a baking tray.

Step 2

Next, you want to crack the egg into each mushroom cap. This is a step you will want to concentrate on as you don’t want runny yolks. Take the time to crack it carefully so that it is still completely intact as it lays into the mushroom, and then sprinkle the egg with some salt and pepper.

Step 3

After about 12-15 minutes of cooking, the 5 ingredient baked egg mushrooms should be ready for you to enjoy. These tender, protein-packed eggs pair beautifully with the juicy texture of the mushrooms, giving you a filling breakfast without the unwanted bloat and guilt that other recipes might leave you with.

What to Do With Leftovers

Eating the baked eggs quickly after cooking is really the best way to enjoy this recipe. It probably wouldn’t be the best option if you’re trying to meal prep for the entire week. You could prep the mushrooms beforehand and store them in an airtight container in the fridge so that all you would need to do the next morning is line them up on the baking pan, place the cracked egg on them, and then cook.

If you had to, they could store okay for a day or two, but the flavor and texture won’t be quite as good when served fresh.
