Pro Tips
• Don’t overcrowd the pan when cooking the mushrooms. For the best golden-brown color, cook them in a single layer, working in batches if necessary.
• For extra creamy eggs, remove the skillet from the heat just before they look fully done. The residual heat will finish cooking them to perfection.
• Feel free to swap button mushrooms for cremini or a wild mushroom mix for a deeper, earthier flavor.
• Use fresh thyme instead of dried for a brighter, more aromatic taste. Use about 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme leaves to replace 1 teaspoon of dried.
