Make these easy, scrambled eggs with mushrooms for a delicious, filling breakfast. Add caramelized onions and fresh basil for even more flavor, texture, and presentation.
Scrambled Eggs with Mushrooms ingredients
- Onion: We recommend using yellow or white onion if you like that sharp flavor from an onion or using sweet if you prefer mellow.
- Portobello Mushroom: The meaty texture adds to the dish and makes it even more filling.
- Eggs: You can use Just Egg for vegan or egg whites if you prefer a lower-calorie breakfast option.
- Basil: Freshly chopped basil leaves add some herbal freshness to the dish.
- Butter: You can use regular butter, ghee, dairy-free butter, or even vegan butter.
How to Make Mushroom Basil Scrambled Eggs
In a skillet, warm up your preferred oil or butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions and cook for about 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the chopped Portobello mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until both the onions and mushrooms are tender and caramelized, about 5-6 minutes.
Remove the cooked veggies from the skillet and set them aside.
Add the eggs to the pan and scramble until they are just set.
Top the scrambled eggs with the cooked veggies and fresh chopped basil.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Overcrowding the Pan: Give the onions and mushrooms enough space in the skillet to caramelize properly.
- Overcooking Eggs: Scramble the eggs until they are just set to prevent them from becoming dry and rubbery. Keep the heat low to avoid burning or browning the eggs, which can also impact the flavor.
Helpful Tips
- Preheat Skillet: Ensure the skillet is properly heated before adding the onions for good caramelization.
- Egg Whites: You can reduce the fat and calories by using egg whites.
- Vegan: This also works well with Just Egg.
- Seasoning: Season the eggs with salt and pepper while scrambling for a balanced flavor.
- Fresh Basil: Add the basil just before serving to keep its vibrant color and flavor intact.
- Heat: If you like heat, add some hot sauce, salsa, or even jalapenos.
