Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Clean the portabella mushroom: Wipe off any dirt with a damp paper towel and remove the stem.
- Dice the mushroom into small pieces.
- Chop the basil leaves finely.
- Dice the tomato into small pieces.
- Shred or cut the mozzarella cheese into small chunks.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of olive oil or cooking spray if needed.
- Add the diced portabella mushroom to the skillet and sauté for about 4-5 minutes, or until they become tender and start to brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg and the egg white together until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture into the same skillet over medium heat.
- As the eggs begin to set, gently stir with a spatula to create soft curds.
- When the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny, add the sautéed mushrooms, diced tomato, and mozzarella cheese to the skillet.
- Continue cooking, stirring gently, until the eggs are fully cooked and the cheese has melted, about 1-2 minutes.
5. Season and Serve:
- Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the chopped basil leaves.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Plate the scramble and enjoy immediately.
Tips:
- For added flavor, you can sauté the mushroom in a little olive oil before adding it to the eggs.
- If you're watching your calorie intake, consider using low-fat mozzarella cheese.
- To make the scramble fluffier, add a splash of milk or cream to the eggs before cooking.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, and consider adding a touch of garlic powder or fresh garlic for an extra kick.
- Serve your Portabella Caprese Egg Scramble with a slice of whole-grain toast or a side of fresh fruit for a well-rounded meal.
In just a few simple steps, you've created a delicious Portabella Caprese Egg Scramble that's both satisfying and wholesome.
