Scrambled Eggs Featuring Wild Puffball Mushrooms

01 / WHAT YOU NEED

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter, or more to taste 4 eggs 1 cup diced puffball mushrooms ½ cup diced green onions

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by heating a skillet over medium heat and melting some butter in it. While the butter is warming up, crack the eggs into a bowl and add the wild puffball mushrooms. Give everything a good whisk until it’s well combined. Set aside about 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions for garnish. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and gently scramble, stirring slowly to create soft, fluffy curds. As the eggs begin to set, sprinkle in the remaining green onions along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Keep cooking for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the eggs are just done—be careful not to overcook them. Finish by topping the scramble with the reserved green onions before serving.
