Print Recipe

A delicious savory twist on a classic breakfast dish, featuring earthy mushrooms, nutrient-packed spinach, and a cheesy, garlicky flavor in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices of whole grain bread
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • Optional: Fresh herbs like parsley or chives for garnish

Instructions

  1. Whisk eggs and almond milk together in a large bowl. Add nutmeg, salt, and pepper; whisk until well combined.
  2. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sauté garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Add mushrooms and cook until golden brown and moisture is released, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  5. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides.
  6. Add remaining olive oil to the skillet and heat over medium. Cook bread slices for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  7. Top each slice with spinach and mushroom mixture.
  8. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and optional chili flakes or nutritional yeast.
  9. Serve immediately with fresh herb garnish if desired.

Notes

Use day-old bread to avoid sogginess. Deeply brown the mushrooms for rich flavor. Nutmeg adds warmth that ties the dish together.
