Happy June! Time for great weather and sunshine which means we want to maximize our time outdoors. It’s definitely BBQ season! During the summer months, we try and get as much cooked outside as we can.
For most, barbecues include things like burgers, hot dogs and steak. With the right vessel, eggs can be made on the grill as well. Portobello mushrooms make the perfect little cup to cook up some delicious eggs.
You really only need two ingredients for these Grilled Portobello Mushroom Eggs along with any garnishes you want to add – mushrooms and eggs.
Did you know?
Grade-A eggs have a clean and uncracked shell, a round and centered yolk, a firm white, and a small air cell. These eggs are sold at retail for all Canadians to enjoy. Look for the Canada Grade-A symbol on the packaging of eggs you buy, to ensure top quality! Eggs are not only an excellent source of high quality protein, but they also contain many vitamins and minerals, including iron, choline, folate, and Vitamins A, D, E and B12. They are also versatile and delicious which is why we enjoy them on the regular.
While this would make a delicious breakfast or brunch served alongside hashbrowns and fruit, we are huge fans of eggs any time of the day. This is perfect alongside some bruschetta or salad.
Just clean and season the portobello mushrooms and place on the grill. Cook one side, turn it over so that the cap side is on the grill and then fill the cavity with one egg, seasoning before closing the lid of the bbq. The closed bbq creates a convection, cooking the egg to perfection. Check every five minutes so that you cook your egg to your liking. The meaty mushroom with the delicate egg is a match made in heaven.
