By Heather
These breakfast stuffed portobello mushrooms are a high-protein, low-carb breakfast with 53g of protein per serving! Made with eggs, cottage cheese, and ham baked into meaty portobello mushroom caps, this easy recipe is perfect for meal prep, brunch, or a filling breakfast that will keep you full.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Start by prepping your mushrooms. Remove the stems and gently scrape out the gills from each mushroom cap. This creates more space for the filling and keeps the texture from getting too soft. Lightly spray each mushroom with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, pepper, and fresh chives until well combined.
Place the mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet. Add 3 slices of ham into each mushroom cap, folding them slightly to fit. Carefully pour the egg mixture evenly into the portobello mushroom caps, filling the center.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the tops are lightly golden. Let cool slightly before serving and enjoy!
