Mushroom, Egg, and Cheese Burrito

Kids were eating quesadillas for lunch but I wanted something a little more substantial. We had some musgovian mushrooms in the fridge so I diced that up and sauteed them in some EVOO with s&p and Italian seasoning. Then I beat an egg and scrambled it, mixing the mushrooms in with the egg.

I warmed up a tortilla, laid down some shredded cheese, then spooned on some of the mushroom and egg filling. Folded it into a burrito, and let it heat through.

It was good, but I think it could have used the crunch of an onion or bell pepper.

Mushroom and Gruyere Omelette, Banana-Nut-illa

Saturday morning. Time for sleeping in and lazing around. Time for me (Nate) to make breakfast.

We had some white button mushrooms and some nice gruyere cheese in the fridge. I sliced up the mushrooms and sauteed them in bacon fat. Seasoned with salt, cracked black pepper, a little Italian seasoning, and a touch of soy sauce. Fried them until they got a nice golden brown color.

In the meantime, I grated up some gruyere cheese and also cut up some mozzarella cheese into small chunks. Just as the mushrooms were finishing, I started the omelettes. As soon as the egg began to set, I put on the mushrooms, topped with the cheese, and folded.

Plated it up, garnished with chopped parsley, and added a few dashes of hot sauce. This was very good!


Annie came out and said she wanted to try using the flour tortillas that we normally use to make quesadillas, and add bananas and Nutella. Kind of a banana-Nutella crepe but using tortillas instead of crepe.


It was…interesting. Oh well. You make some, you break some.
