Portobello eggs are lovely for breakfast, brunch and substantial enough for a filling lunch or a meatless dinner.
INGREDIENTS
- 4 large portobello mushrooms
- Olive oil spray
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 medium eggs
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 tablespoons chopped parsley for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat broiler, setting the temperature to high. Set an oven rack in the middle of the oven. Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp paper towel. Gently twist off or the stem of each mushroom. Holding each mushroom in one hand, use a spoon to gently scrape out the gills.
- Spray the mushroom caps with olive oil cooking spray on both sides. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder. Broil 5 minutes on each side, or until just tender.
- Remove the mushrooms from the oven. Drain any liquids. Switch oven from broil to bake, setting the temperature to 400 degrees F.
- Break an egg into each mushroom. Sprinkle with the cheese. Bake 15 minutes, until the egg whites are cooked.
- Sprinkle the eggs with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Garnish with parsley and serve.
