This Mushroom Egg Skillet is a simple yet comforting dish that combines sautéed earthy mushrooms with softly cooked eggs. The mushrooms are browned to bring out their deep aroma, while the eggs are gently cracked into the pan, creating a luscious, runny yolk that contrasts beautifully with the savory mushrooms.

Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms sliced into uniform pieces
  • 2 cloves garlic minced finely
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin preferred
  • 3 large eggs fresh, at room temperature
  • to taste salt preferably kosher or sea salt
  • to taste black pepper freshly ground
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • 10-inch non-stick skillet
  • Spatula
  • Small bowl
  • Lid or foil

Method
 

  1. Preheat your skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil, letting it shimmer and warm up.
  2. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and turn golden brown, about 6-8 minutes. You should hear a gentle sizzling and see the mushrooms deepen in color.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, until fragrant and slightly browned, filling the kitchen with a warm, earthy aroma.
  4. Create space in the skillet’s center by pushing the mushrooms to the edges. Crack the eggs directly into the cleared space, being careful not to break the yolks. Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  5. Cover the skillet with a lid or foil to help the eggs cook evenly. Let them cook for about 2-3 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks remain glossy and runny, and the mushrooms are tender and fragrant.
  6. Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of fresh flavor. Let it rest for a minute to allow the flavors to meld.
  7. Serve the skillet directly from the pan, with the eggs still runny and the mushrooms beautifully browned. Enjoy immediately for the best texture and aroma.
