Ingredients
  

For the Mushroom Base
  • 2 large Portobello Mushrooms Select firm caps with tightly closed gills.
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil Use extra virgin for best flavor.
For the Spinach Filling
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Fresh minced garlic can be used as a substitute.
  • 2 cups Spinach Fresh spinach is preferable.
For the Egg and Cheese Layer
  • 4 large Eggs Fresh, free-range or organic preferred.
  • 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese Choose low-moisture, part-skim for best results.

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Skillet
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove stems from Portobello mushrooms and scrape out the gills. Brush with olive oil, and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add spinach and minced garlic, sauté for 3-4 minutes until wilted. Remove and squeeze out excess moisture.
  3. Place mushroom caps gill side up on a baking sheet. Distribute sautéed spinach evenly among mushrooms. Crack an egg into each cap and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes until egg whites are set but yolks remain runny. Adjust time for preferred yolk firmness.
  5. Sprinkle mozzarella over each egg and return to oven for an additional 3-5 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Let cool slightly, garnish with herbs or red pepper flakes, and serve warm.
