Ingredients
- Large Mushrooms
- Avocado
- Eggs
- Garlic
- Lemon Juice
- Salt and Pepper
- Olive Oil
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your Avocado & Egg Stuffed Mushrooms bake evenly and become perfectly golden while maintaining their deliciousness. While waiting, you can dance around the kitchen—baking is always more fun with a little boogie!
- Step 2: Prepare the Mushrooms: Gently clean the large mushrooms using a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Carefully remove the stems without breaking the caps—these will be your edible bowls! If desired, chop up some of the stems to mix into your filling later. Think of it as recycling at its finest!
- Step 3: Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe avocado until smooth. Add in minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir in chopped mushroom stems if you saved them. This creamy mixture is where all those flavors come together—feel free to give it a taste test (chef's privilege!).
- Step 4: Fill Those Mushrooms!: Spoon generous amounts of the avocado mixture into each mushroom cap. Then, create a small well in the center of each filled mushroom where you’ll crack an egg. This is where magic happens as it transforms into an irresistible bite during baking!
- Step 5: Bake to Perfection: Carefully place your stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle olive oil over them for extra flavor before sliding them into your preheated oven. Bake for about 15-20 minutes until the eggs are set but still slightly runny—just how we like them!
- Step 6: Serve & Enjoy!: Your Avocado & Egg Stuffed Mushrooms are now ready! Allow them to cool slightly before serving; garnish with fresh herbs if desired. These savory delights are fantastic on their own or served alongside a fresh salad or crusty bread for dipping into those luscious yolks.
Notes
- To store leftover stuffed mushrooms, place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days to preserve their freshness.
- When reheating, pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to warm through and maintain that delightful texture, instead of using a microwave which may make them soggy.
- For an extra touch, serve your stuffed mushrooms on a bed of mixed greens with a drizzle of balsamic glaze to enhance the flavors and presentation.
- As a chef's tip, ensure your avocado is perfectly ripe for the filling—this will give you that creamy consistency that pairs beautifully with the egg!
