Kicking off your day means getting all of the nutrients you need to stay energized, focused and productive – and that means you can’t overlook key dietary needs like fiber, protein and vitamin B12. But many traditional breakfast recipes lean sweet and sugary rather than hunger-satiating and nutrient rich. Our Balsamic Roasted Portobellos with Fried Eggs, however, are a savory alternative that deliver everything you could possibly need. Put down the sugary cereals, and try one of these meaty mushrooms instead.
Each one of these deliciously satisfying Balsamic Roasted Portobellos includes everything you need for the day ahead. The portobello mushrooms, which make up the hearty base of the recipe, offer up an array of vitamins and minerals. But they also deliver plenty of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties – all while satisfying your early-morning hunger with a whole lot of fiber. The leafy green baby spinach delivers an abundance of vitamin K, the nutrient you need for strong bones, healthy blood clotting and plenty of energy. And you can’t overlook the fried egg layered over top. With a whole lot of selenium, vitamin B2, vitamin B12 and choline, plus 6 grams of protein, you’ll have a well-rounded meal that lasts you well into your busy day.
Plus, you can’t miss the combination of tomatoes, fresh basil and balsamic vinegar. These ingredients make every mushroom a can’t-miss breakfast that’s full of flavor.
