    My favorite thing to do with a Portobello mushroom is to bake it with an egg in it. I absolutely love it.

    Recipe:
    1 large portobello mushroom cap (about 4-5" across), cleaned and stem cut out
    1 large egg
    1/2 TBSP olive oil
    salt & pepper
    fresh dill, rosemary & basil, chopped

    1. Rub olive oil on the inside and outside of the portobello mushroom. Season with salt & pepper and sprinkle with half the herbs.
    2. Place on cookie sheet and crack egg into the cap. Sprinkle with remaining herbs.
    3. Bake for 10-12 minutes (or until yolk is as done as you like) at 300. So delicious!


    *I have on occasion sprinkled a TBSP or two of reduced fat cheese prior to baking for a few extra but cheesy calories and my BF likes to sprinkle some crumbled browned ground turkey (that had some italian seasoning, garlic & fennel seed used to season it to give it a sausage like flavor) on top.

    As an alternative, lower fat option, to stuffing portobello mushrooms with cheese, you could try scrambling up some silken tofu with some minced garlic, chopped chillies, chopped ginger, and soy sauce. For some tanginess sprinkle over some chopped kaffir lime leaves, and/or lime juice.

    My mushroom recipes tend to be very, very simple. Haha.

    I usually just make mushroom soup or steam them along with broccoli and chicken.

    <3 add mushrooms to anything!
    I love mine cooked on a skillet with sweet onions and sesame seeds, and whatever other veggie tickles my fancy that day and then served over brown rice or cous cous!

    I don't know how I stumbled across this website... but there is actually a website dedicated to getting people eating more mushrooms with plenty of recipes:

    Claim Jumper Restaurant had an interesting burger on their menu. Instead of the meat patty, they used a portabello cap. The burger didn't suffer taste-wise. I'd have it again!

    One of my brothers was once given a block of mushroom spores. The block had three different kinds of mushrooms on it; he had to keep it damp and cool. It was great to see the mushrooms growing. But where to find the blocks?

    My sister's ex husband was a vegetarian so if we did a BBQ we would take a whole portobello and season it like it was a hamburger. Whistishire sauce, liquid smoke becareful very strong, some sort of pepper onion garlic blend some kosher salt and grill it. Broiler would work so would a grill pan, or sautée pan. High heat don't burn. You can put a bun on it make it a burger. Or carb free you can take another mushroom type make a sauce with low fat chicken or beef broth chopped mushrooms little corn starch to thicken (glutton free) the same spices used on the potabello, cover with sauce add parsley and diced green onion. Salt to taste.


    I also buy specialty salt like truffle salt. I can't have a lot of salt so truffle salt help give a flavor boost to things even when the salt is bordering on bland.
