02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Scramble eggs with mushrooms

Start by heating a skillet over medium heat and melting a bit of butter in it. While the butter is warming up, crack the eggs into a bowl and add the mushrooms. Give everything a good, vigorous whisk to combine. Set aside a couple of tablespoons of the green onions for garnish. Once the butter is melted and hot, pour in the egg mixture. Gently scramble the eggs, stirring slowly to form soft, fluffy curds. As the eggs begin to set, sprinkle in the remaining green onions along with some salt and pepper. Keep cooking for about 3 to 5 minutes, making sure not to overcook them—they should stay moist and tender. When you’re ready to serve, sprinkle the reserved green onions on top for a fresh touch.
