Mushroom Scramble
A simple yet flavorful Czech dish made from fresh or dried mushrooms, onions, and eggs, often enjoyed for breakfast or a light meal.
🧂 Ingredients
- 500 g Mixed mushrooms (e.g., chanterelles, porcini, button)(cleaned and sliced (or 50g dried mushrooms, rehydrated))
- 1 medium Onion(finely chopped)
- 6 large Eggs
- 2 tbsp Butter or oil
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley(chopped, for garnish)
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black pepper
👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
If using dried mushrooms, rehydrate them in warm water for about 20-30 minutes, then drain and chop. If using fresh mushrooms, clean and slice them.
- 2
Melt butter or heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- 3
Add the prepared mushrooms to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their liquid and started to brown, about 8-10 minutes.
- 4
While the mushrooms are cooking, whisk the eggs in a bowl with salt and pepper.
- 5
Pour the whisked eggs over the mushrooms in the skillet. Cook, stirring gently, as you would for scrambled eggs, until the eggs are set but still moist.

Remove from heat. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.
💡 Pro Tips
- ✓For best flavor, use a mix of wild mushrooms if available.
- ✓Don't overcook the eggs; they should remain slightly creamy.
