It's just a couple of days before Thanksgiving and I'm running around like a mad woman to get things done. This year we're doing things a bit different... getting the family the heck outta here for some untraditional turkey day glamping (that's camping in a glamorous manner.) I'll be the first to admit that God didn't build me in a manner that would suffice actual 'camping'. I enjoy hot showers, beds, central air, and food far too much to be the outdoorsy type.
Glamping though? Sign. Me. Up!
I got a small cabin in the woods rented out for a couple of days and I am all about this fancy-pants version of camping. Awe-SOME. While I'm getting myself in order and ready to head out on the road, I can't neglect breakfast this week. So, I'm hot on the tails of these AMAZING Breakfast Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms! Seriously. This is one of the best breakfasts I've concocted in a good while.
I truly can't express how amazing these Breakfast Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms are. If I could make them every morning for the rest of my life, I probably would. That's how good they are. What's funny is that up until last week, I had only ever attempted cooking with portobello mushrooms one other time, and that didn't pan out. Last week though? I fell madly and deeply in love with this fungi (get it... fun guy? Fungi!) I'm a riot.
Since it was pretty much lunch time by the time I got home from my whirlwind of a Thanksgiving shopping trip, I decided to serve these with fresh vegetables as brunch. But, if you're making these more as a breakfast item, I would suggest fruit, of course!
Yum! I have one of these leftover in my fridge and I'm really just hoping that it's somehow going to re-heat well for me to enjoy again. I know that the avocado will have to be replaced, but I'm pretty sure the rest will have survived. I'll be sure to update with my findings later!
I added some salsa and green onions over the top of mine because that's just how I like my eggs for any savory breakfast or brunch plate.
