Use Fresh Eggs!

For the best tasting breakfast, make sure your eggs are fresh, and if possible, buy free run / organic eggs.

To check if your eggs are fresh before using them, place them in a bowl of water. If they sink to the bottom they are good to use. If they float to the top, it’s best to discard them.

How To Prep Portobello Mushrooms

It’s best not to wash mushrooms under water as they will absorb the water and steam when they are cooked which can make them mushy.

You can either wipe the mushrooms with a damp cloth, or peel off the outer skin.
