Scrambled Eggs with Mushrooms

I (Maja) love this Mushroom Scrambled Eggs recipe. My mom used to make it all the time when we were growing up, especially the same day or the next day after we went mushroom foraging. This recipe takes minutes to make, and it’s a great way to use different wild mushrooms like porcini or chanterelle. The trick is to make these eggs well-cooked; we don’t want to create soft, creamy scrambled eggs, but soft and scrambled with mushrooms. Adding onion, garlic, and parsley is essential, as it adds sweetness and freshness—such a beautiful autumn meal.

METHOD

preparation

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs using a fork. Don't season with salt or pepper. Clean the mushrooms and cut them into thin slices.
pan-fry the mushrooms

Place a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the butter, and let it melt, then add the diced onion and mushrooms. Pan-fry for 8 - 10 minutes while stirring regularly. The onion must become translucent, and the mushrooms golden-brown and caramelized. Add the garlic, parsley, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Stir to combine and pan-fry for another minute.
add the eggs

Increase the heat and add the scrambled eggs. Shake the pan a few times to distribute the eggs evenly. After about 30 seconds, stir the eggs gently using a spatula. Reduce the heat and cook the eggs for another 1 - 2 minutes or until cooked but soft.

Tip

The mushrooms shouldn't look wet anymore.
serve

Divide the Mushrooms Scrambled Eggs between two plates. Our favorite way to serve these eggs is with toasted sourdough bread. Cut the bread into 3 cm (1-inch) slices, brush with butter on both sides, and toast in a pan until golden and crunchy.
