This recipe calls for shiitake mushrooms, which have a meaty texture and a hearty flavor. If you can’t find them, go ahead and just use sliced button mushrooms.
The flavor and texture are slightly different, but still delicious. You can also use broccolini in place of the broccoli for a slightly milder flavor.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1⁄2 onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 8 large eggs, beaten
- 1⁄2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1⁄2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven broiler on high.
2. In a medium ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil until it shimmers.
3. Add the onion, broccoli, and mushrooms, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds. Arrange the vegetables in an even layer on the bottom of the pan.
4. While the vegetables cook, in a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and salt. Carefully pour the eggs over the vegetables. Cook without stirring, allowing the eggs to set around the vegetables. As the eggs begin to set around the edges, use a spatula to pull the edges away from the sides of the pan. Tilt the pan and allow the uncooked eggs to run into the spaces. Cook 1 to 2 minutes more, until it sets around the edges. The eggs will still be runny on top.
