Reminder the portion of eggs for a Phase 1-3 dieters is 2 whole eggs plus 2 egg whites.
So you could actually have two mushroom caps, with 1 egg plus 1 egg white in each cap.
Ingredients:
eggs
portobello mushroom caps
black pepper
fresh parsley or thyme
a little olive oil
portobello mushroom caps
black pepper
fresh parsley or thyme
a little olive oil
Instructions:
Clean the portobello mushroom caps with a damp cloth, remove the stem and scrape out the gills so you have a well deep enough for the egg. LCHD NOTE: Use a spoon to remove the gills--set them aside for use later. Use care to keep from cracking or slicing through the edge of the cap--otherwise you'll leak the egg onto the baking pan.
Rub a little bit of olive oil on the outside of the mushroom to help it cook and keep it from sticking to the pan. Arrange the caps on a baking sheet. LCHD NOTE: Depending on how flat the caps are you may need to balance them on something--I use ramekins on the pan in the case where the cap is severely tilted.
Crack each egg into a small bowl and then carefully slide it onto a mushroom cap
Sprinkle with black pepper and fresh herbs of choice â I used parsley but thyme would be great as well. LCHD NOTE: Saute the gills with some soy sauce and drop them back into the cap before you fill it with the egg. For more protein add sauteed ground beef/turkey or even broken up bits of bacon.
CAREFULLY place the baking pan into the pre-heated 375 degree F oven and bake for 20-30 minutes. The amount of time required depends on how thick your mushrooms are and how done you like your eggs.
