Lately my local supermarket has been selling containers of 250g/8.8 ounces of portobello mushrooms for just 49 cents. So, I’ve been enjoying them most days in this easy egg and mushroom breakfast recipe.

You can use any mushrooms you like. Portobellos are a great, meaty mushroom but you could also use the smaller cup mushrooms instead of or as well as the portobellos.
