- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Step-by-step Directions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Clean the portobello mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and carefully scoop out the gills with a spoon to create a hollow center.

- Divide the mashed avocado evenly among the portobello mushrooms, spreading it in an even layer in the hollowed-out center.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the avocado in each mushroom, followed by a pinch of garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Crack an egg into each mushroom on top of the avocado and cheese mixture. Be careful not to overflow the egg.
- Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking.
- Remove the mushrooms from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
- Enjoy your Avocado and Egg Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms hot out of the oven!
