MARTHA ROSE SHULMAN'S SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH MUSHROOMS

Martha Rose Shulman's Scrambled Eggs With Mushrooms image

This is one of my most favorite scrambled egg dishes, and certainly an easy one. Use regular white or brown button mushrooms, or splurge on wild mushrooms.

Time 30m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil or unsalted butter
1/2 pound cultivated or wild mushrooms, cleaned, trimmed and sliced (2 cups sliced)
1 to 2 garlic cloves (to taste), minced (optional)
Salt
freshly ground pepper to taste
1 to 2 tablespoons minced chives (to taste)
6 to 8 eggs
2 tablespoons low-fat milk

Steps:

Heat the oil or butter over medium-high heat in a large, heavy nonstick skillet. Add the mushrooms, and cook, stirring often, until they begin to sweat. Add the garlic and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until the mushrooms are tender, five to eight minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and stir in the chives.
Beat the eggs in a medium bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste, and beat in the milk. Add to the skillet. Cook, stirring every few seconds, until the eggs are scrambled. Remove from the heat, and serve.
