We eat a lot of eggs. One of our favourite ways to eat them is in a breakfast sandwich. Usually the sandwich just consists of egg, cheese and an english muffin. But on the weekends, we like to fance them up by adding vegetables and meat.
Fried mushrooms are so versatile and simple to prepare. We put them in crepes, pizza, burgers, sandwiches and even eat them as a side dish.
I watched my Uncle Steve make his version of fried mushrooms last summer and was inspired to simplify my recipe and eat them a lot more.
Alton Brown has an amazing recipe for mushrooms which he then piles in between layers of crepes. They are amazing!
This method is the easy way.
2 tsp olive oil
2 tsp butter
1/2-1 lb mushrooms, chopped or sliced thinly
1 small onion, chopped finely (divided)
1/4 C red pepper, chopped finely
2 thin slices of ham, chopped
5 eggs
heaping 1/4 tsp herbes de provence
1/2 tsp Montreal Steak Spice (divided)
2 Tbsp sliced Kalamata olives
1/4 C grated mozzarella cheese
3 English Muffins, halved and toasted
In a small frying pan warm 1 tsp oil and 1 tsp butter. Add chopped mushrooms, 1/2 the onion, herbes de provence and 1/4 tsp montreal steak spice. Fry until mushrooms are soft, about 5 mins. Keep mushrooms warm.
In a larger (10 inch) frying pan warm the other 1tsp oil and 1 tsp butter over med heat.
Add 1/2 the onion, red pepper and other 1/4 tsp of steak spice. When the vegetables are soft, add ham and warm through.
Crack 5 eggs over top of the cooked vegetables. Mix up the egg into the vegetables breaking a few of the yolks. Continue cooking, opening up little holes in the egg mixture so the uncooked egg falls onto the hot pan and fills the holes.
Once the egg is mostly set, sprinkle with olives and cheese. Cover the pan with a lid and turn heat down to low.
Toast english muffins. Butter them when toasted.
When eggs are set, divide into 3 portions.
Fill up english muffins with egg and mushrooms. Squirt on some hot sauce or ketchup if you like.
