Ingredients

• Mushrooms: 8 ounces (225g) fresh mushrooms. Cremini (baby bella) are our go-to everyday pick for their great flavor and texture, but any mix works beautifully (shiitake, oyster, trumpet, etc.). Avoid pre-sliced mushrooms, which can be too wet.
• Eggs: 6 large eggs, plus an optional 1 extra yolk (for maximum creaminess, highly recommended!).
• Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons (30ml) good quality extra virgin olive oil, or unsalted butter for a richer flavor.
• Garlic: 2 cloves, minced.
• Fresh Parsley: 2 tablespoons, chopped, or fresh chives for a milder oniony note.
• Salt: To taste.
• Black Pepper: Freshly ground, to taste.
• Optional: A pinch of smoked paprika for an extra layer of Spanish flavor.

Directions

1. Prep Mushrooms & Aromatics: Begin by cleaning your mushrooms. Gently brush off any dirt or wipe them with a damp cloth; avoid soaking them as they absorb water easily. Slice the mushrooms to a consistent, medium thickness (about ¼-inch). Mince your garlic finely. In a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs with the optional extra yolk until just combined – don't whip in too much air, as we want soft curds, not fluffy ones.
2. Sauté Mushrooms Until Ready: Heat the olive oil (or butter) in a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sliced mushrooms in a single layer if possible. Let them cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to get some color, then stir. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally. Initially, the mushrooms will release their moisture and appear to "steam." Keep cooking until all the liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms start to turn golden brown and slightly crispy (this usually takes 5-8 minutes). If liquid pools in the pan, increase the heat slightly to evaporate it before adding eggs.
3. Add Eggs and Cook Gently: Once the mushrooms are beautifully browned, reduce the heat to medium-low or low. Add the minced garlic to the pan and stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant (don't let it brown). Pour the beaten eggs directly over the mushrooms. Let them set for a few seconds, then gently push the eggs from the edges towards the center with a spatula, allowing uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue this gentle stirring and folding motion, cooking until the eggs are about 80-90% set – they should still look very soft and slightly moist.
4. Finish Off-Heat & Serve: Remove the skillet from the heat immediately. The residual heat will continue to cook the eggs to perfect creaminess. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley (or chives), salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. If using, stir in a pinch of smoked paprika. Serve your Spanish-Style Mushroom Scramble immediately with a side of crusty bread or toast.
