What you will need
This recipe uses 6 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup sliced cremini mushrooms
- 2 slices Swiss cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Saute Mushrooms
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until golden brown and tender. Season with salt and pepper then remove from pan.
Step 2: Scramble Eggs
Reduce heat to medium-low and melt remaining butter in the same skillet. Whisk eggs well and pour into the pan. Gently fold eggs with a spatula, cooking slowly for about 3 minutes until just barely set.
Step 3: Finish and Serve
Return mushrooms to the pan and lay Swiss cheese slices over the top. Cover the pan for 30 seconds to allow the cheese to melt. Divide between two plates and serve immediately.
Easy substitutions
Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:
- Swiss cheese → Gruyere or provolone cheese
- cremini mushrooms → button mushrooms or shiitake mushrooms
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Cooking eggs over high heat which results in rubbery dry curds instead of soft fluffy scrambles
- Skipping the step of cooking mushrooms separately which causes them to steam rather than brown properly
