Egg Breakfast Sammies with smoked Gouda, arugula & sautéed mushrooms
Eggs, smoked Gouda, arugula and sautéed mushrooms create a marvelous protein rich, gluten-free, vegetarian breakfast!
Equipment
- Egg Rings
- Large frying pan with a flat bottom
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp. olive oil or butter, divided
- 8 whole eggs (or can use just egg whites)
- 4 slices smoked Gouda (or your favorite cheese)
- 4 large cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup arugula leaves
- lemon pepper, salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp. minced chives or green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Heat 1 tbsp. oil in a skillet and sauté mushrooms over medium heat until browned. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Heat the remaining oil in the same pan. Spray the egg rings with cooking spray and place them in the center of the pan. Be sure to have the bottoms of the rings flush with the pan.
- Crack the eggs into the center of the rings. Hold the rings down until the eggs start to cook. Then you can release your hold on the egg ring and move on to the next. Season the eggs with salt, pepper and lemon pepper.
- When the egg is beginning to look opaque, use a knife to separate the egg from the ring and flip the egg over to cook the other side. Repeat the process until all eggs are cooked to your desired doneness.
- Next, just lay the slice of cheese on top of one egg, followed by sliced mushrooms and arugula. Finally lay the other egg on top, garnish with chives (or green onions) and you are ready to dive in!🍳
Notes
Egg rings are an amazing invention and they cook the egg to a perfect shape and size for making egg sandwiches whether you choose to use English muffins or just use the eggs in place of bread. Do be aware that the rings are not really non-stick and do require a little cooking spray and the use of a knife to get the eggs out of the ring most of the time. Still, they are worth the effort!
