Mushroom and Feta Cheese Scramble

JUST 4 INGREDIENTS to make this tasty, healthy, and hot breakfast – Mushroom and Feta Cheese Scramble! Low-carb and gluten-free!

 

 

We love eggs for breakfast. But sometimes, the same old, same old style can get really boring. So, rummaging in the fridge one breakfast morning, I looked around to see what I can use with eggs.

I saw some mushrooms and I always pair them with eggs.

But, I have half a tub of feta cheese that still needed to be used. So there goes, instead of the usual cheddar cheese on my omelette and scramble I thought why not feta instead. I was amazed it worked perfectly well!

So, here’s an easy breakfast scramble that just cooks beautifully all together! Let’s have a great start to our morning!

NOTE ON INGREDIENTS (Recipe card for printing follows after the photo step-by-step instructions).

  • Olive oil – avocado or any other neutral-flavored oil works best, too.
  • Eggs – some eggs have really small yolks so add more if needed
  • Mushrooms – I am partial to brown mushrooms and the meatier cremini is my favorite but you can use other mushrooms, too.
  • Crumbled Feta Cheese – use either the plain variety or one flavored with herbs.
  • Salt and pepper, to taste (OPTIONAL)

NOTE: Feta cheese is already salty on its own so extra salt is optional.

STEP-BY-STEP PHOTO INSTRUCTIONS (Recipe card for printing follows after the photo step-by-step instructions).

Heat a little oil or use a nonstick oil spray in a medium to large skillet. When the oil is hot enough, saute the mushrooms until tender about 5 minutes.

 

 

While you are sauteing the mushrooms, crack the eggs and then whisk them to combine. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.  

When the mushrooms are done, move them to one side of the pan and then pour in the eggs. Let eggs set for a bit.

 

 

Scramble until the eggs are almost done. Add half of the crumbled feta cheese and continue to cook until the eggs are fully done.

 

 

Serve with the remaining feta cheese on top. Don’t forget the rice!
