This easy breakfast skillet recipe is gluten-free, vegetarian and perfect for summer breakfasts, lunch or dinner. It is also great for make-ahead breakfasts and super easy to come together.
Ingredients Used in Making This Breakfast Skillet Recipe
Note: This is an overview of the ingredients. See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
Eggs: I used 6 large eggs.
Spinach: I highly recommend using fresh spinach. Actually, it gives this dish a better texture and taste. However, if you use frozen spinach, remember to thaw and drain it very well before using it to avoid the dish getting runny.
Mushrooms: You can use any kind of mushroom; I used button mushrooms. If you don't like mushrooms, skip them and add more veggies instead.
Salt and pepper: For seasoning.
Tomato sauce: Adds the right amount of flavour and consistency to the dish.
Spring onion: Make sure to use sliced spring onions as they add a nice flavour to this dish.
Olive oil: I like to cook this dish in olive oil. You may also use coconut oil, avocado oil or butter if you prefer.
Parsley for garnishing.
How to make Mushroom Egg Breakfast Skillet?
Sauté the mushrooms: Heat the oil In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the mushrooms, salt and pepper, saute until soft (about 2-3 minutes).
Add onion and spinach: Add spring onion, cook for 1 more minute, then add the spinach, cook for 2 minutes until wilted (stir occasionally).
Tip: You may have to add raw spinach in batches as they may not fit in a pan at once.
Cooking the eggs: Add the tomato sauce, stir. Then add the eggs and lower the heat and let the eggs cook for 2-3 minutes.
Tip: You can create small spaces in the veggies and then crack the eggs. Cook the eggs for 3 minutes to get soft and runny yolks.
Garnishing: Sprinkle some chopped parsley on the top and serve.
