Enhanced Gourmet Mushroom Scrambled Eggs Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup mixed mushrooms, chopped (fresh) OR 1 oz dried mushrooms (Chestnut, Blue Oyster, or Lion's Mane recommended)
  • 3 tbsp butter, divided
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream or milk
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh herbs (chives, parsley, or thyme)
  • 1/4 cup grated Gruyère or sharp cheddar cheese
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions:

  1. Prep mushrooms: If using dried mushrooms, soak in warm water for 20-30 minutes until softened, then drain and chop into smaller pieces. Pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Prepare eggs: Crack eggs into a bowl, add cream, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Sauté mushrooms: Heat olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add chopped mushrooms and cook 5-7 minutes until golden brown and fragrant.
  4. Add aromatics: Add garlic and white parts of green onions to mushrooms. Cook 1 minute until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Scramble eggs: Reduce heat to medium-low. Add remaining butter to the pan with mushrooms. Pour in whisked eggs.
  6. Cook gently: Using a spatula, gently stir eggs from edges toward center, allowing uncooked egg to flow underneath. Cook 2-3 minutes until eggs are just set but still creamy.
  7. Finish and serve: Remove from heat, fold in cheese and fresh herbs. Garnish with green onion tops and serve immediately.

Prep time: 10 minutes | Cook time: 8 minutes | Serves: 2-3 people

Chef's Tips for Perfect Scrambled Eggs

  • Low and slow: Cook eggs over medium-low heat for creamiest texture
  • Don't overcook: Remove from heat while eggs are still slightly wet - they'll finish cooking from residual heat
  • Quality matters: Use the freshest eggs possible for best flavor and texture
  • Timing is key: Have all ingredients ready before you start cooking
  • Cheese timing: Add cheese off the heat to prevent it from becoming stringy
