Eggs Baked in Portobello Mushrooms : Breakfast, Lunch or Supper : Low Carb and Tasty


Eggs baked in Portobello mushrooms make a fun weekend breakfast, a great lunch, and even a vegetarian dinner or supper when served with a salad. Choose large, firm Portobello mushrooms, that are not too flat (or the egg will spill) nor too deep (or the egg will take forever to cook).

Forget the processed junk - let's cook and savour real, whole foods! Doesn't that sound good 😋

Ingredients
Serves Two
4 large Portobello mushrooms, stem removed, wiped clean
Olive oil spray
½ teaspoon (kosher) salt, divided
½ teaspoon black pepper, divided
½ teaspoon garlic powder
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
4 tablespoons chopped parsley for garnish

... did you know that Portobello mushrooms have a robust meaty texture making them good for roasting, baking and stuffing. They are great for barbecuing, too – just dot with butter, crushed garlic, herbs and seasoning and cook for a few minutes until the juices run, or slice thickly and sauté with onions and garlic, so many ways to enjoy them ...

Fun Fact from specialtyproduce.com:
"Despite their popularity today, Portabella mushrooms were once a highly unfavored mushroom due to their brown color and large size. In an effort to increase sales in the 1980s, marketing companies coined the term Portabella and reintroduced the mushroom to the market as a healthy meat alternative with great success."

Hello Steve
Many thanks for sharing that fun fact.
It does makes sense because Portobello mushrooms do have a robust meaty texture.
We like the slightly smaller cremini mushrooms too.

Enjoy the rest of your week.

All the best Jan
