This morning I’ve got a healthy breakfast for you. I’ve been making it so often lately, I couldn’t believe I didn’t have a recipe up! A few weeks ago I posted my favorite sautéed mushroom recipe. Cooked mushrooms are one of my favorite things to eat on top of savory oatmeal.
I know I said this was a breakfast recipe, but it’s also delicious for lunch or dinner. I like to add a bunch of savory spices, but you can easily do a simpler version with just a little pepper and sea salt to taste. You can also apt in or out of using the grated zucchini. I’m a fan because it’s a delicious way to volume and nutrients without adding a ton of extra calories. Also, you don’t have to add the goat cheese and tahini on top, but I highly recommend it for adding some filling fat and satisfying flavor. Enjoy!
