Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 shallots, sliced
  • 1/4 pound shiitake or other mushrooms, tough stems removed and caps chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Crostini (page 41), optional

Method

  • Put the oil in a large skillet, preferably nonstick, and turn the heat to medium.
  • Add the garlic and shallots and cook, stirring, until softened and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the mushrooms and half the parsley; cover and cook until the mushrooms are soft, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, beat the eggs with the milk.
  • When the mushrooms are done, turn the heat to low and stir in the egg and milk mixture.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, just until the eggs have set.
  • Season with salt and pepper, spoon on top of crostini if you like, garnish with the remaining parsley, and serve.
