Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) butter
Dairy and Optional Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) milk or cream
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) shredded cheese
Seasonings and Garnish:
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon (3 grams) fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Warm a nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt butter. Introduce sliced mushrooms, sautéing for 4-5 minutes until they develop a golden hue and become tender.
- If using garlic, incorporate it into the mushrooms and cook for an additional minute. Season with salt and pepper, then transfer the mushrooms to a separate plate.
- Crack eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk thoroughly with milk or cream, seasoning with salt and pepper until the mixture achieves a uniform consistency.
- Reduce skillet heat to low and add remaining butter. Pour egg mixture into the pan, allowing it to rest undisturbed for approximately 30 seconds.
- Utilizing a spatula, gently manipulate the eggs, creating soft folds and ensuring a creamy, delicate texture throughout the cooking process.
- When eggs are nearly set but still displaying a slight moisture, reintroduce the sautéed mushrooms and integrate them carefully.
- If desired, sprinkle shredded cheese over the eggs and allow it to melt seamlessly into the warm mixture.
- Remove skillet from heat and transfer the scrambled eggs to a serving plate. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant finish.
Notes
- Mushroom Moisture Matters: Pat mushrooms dry before sautéing to prevent excess water and ensure golden, crispy edges during cooking.
- Gentle Egg Technique: Keep heat low and stir eggs slowly to create creamy, soft scrambled texture without overcooking or becoming rubbery.
- Dairy Flexibility: Swap milk with yogurt, non-dairy milk, or skip liquid entirely for different dietary preferences and richer egg consistency.
- Quick Flavor Boosters: Experiment with herbs like chives, thyme, or add a splash of truffle oil for gourmet-style scrambled eggs with minimal effort.
