Switch up your breakfast routine with these savory, low-carb, stuffed portobellos. This fun way to serve eggs will also impress guests at your next brunch.
Ingredients
- 4 large portobello mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
- ¼ cup pesto
- 4 large eggs
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 4 teaspoons finely shredded Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Step 2
Use a damp cloth to remove any dirt from mushrooms. Cut stems off and use a spoon to remove gills, being careful not to break sides of the mushrooms. If there is not enough room for an egg, scrape out a bit of the mushroom flesh. Brush mushroom tops with olive oil and place, top-sides down, on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
Broil in the preheated oven until mushrooms start to release liquid, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from oven and reduce heat to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Step 4
Pour out any accumulated liquid from the mushrooms and pat the insides dry with a paper towel. Return mushrooms to the baking sheet. Lightly brush the foil with additional oil to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Spread 1 tablespoon pesto into each mushroom. Gently crack an egg into each mushroom and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until whites are set and egg yolks are done to your liking, 12 to 15 minutes. Garnish with parsley.
Cook’s Notes:
Try to find portobellos that have higher sides and aren't too flat so the egg doesn't spill out.
