How to Store and Freeze Chilli Oil Mushrooms with Scrambled Eggs

Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Keep the mushrooms separate from the eggs to maintain texture.

Freezer: This dish does not freeze well due to the creamy scrambled eggs; it’s best enjoyed fresh. If needed, freeze mushrooms separately for up to 2 months.

Reheating: Reheat mushrooms in a pan over medium heat for a few minutes. For eggs, gently reheat in a microwave to avoid drying them out.

Expert Tips for Chilli Oil Mushrooms with Scrambled Eggs

Perfectly Soft Scramble: Use low heat when scrambling eggs to ensure they remain creamy and don’t overcook.
Mushroom Magic: Allow mushrooms to brown properly for the best flavor; rushing this will yield a soggy texture instead of a rich, savory bite.
Season Gradually: Season each component—vegetables, eggs, and bread—along the way, enhancing the overall taste of your Chilli Oil Mushrooms with Scrambled Eggs on Sourdough.
Opt for Fresh Herbs: Fresh thyme and parsley elevate your dish; dried herbs won’t provide the same fragrant brightness.
Drizzle Generously: Don’t skimp on the Marion’s Kitchen Crispy Chilli Oil at the end—it’s what brings everything together with its beautiful heat!

Make Ahead Options

These Chilli Oil Mushrooms with Scrambled Eggs on Sourdough are perfect for meal prep enthusiasts!

Additionally, you can whisk the eggs a day ahead and keep them in the fridge, ensuring they stay just as creamy when cooked. By prepping these components ahead of time, you’ll save precious minutes during busy mornings while still enjoying a delightful homemade meal!

Chilli Oil Mushrooms with Scrambled Eggs Recipe FAQs

What type of mushrooms should I use for the best flavor?
Absolutely! For this recipe, I recommend using fresh white button mushrooms as they have a lovely, earthy flavor that pairs beautifully with the other ingredients. If you want to experiment, cremini or shiitake mushrooms would also add a deeper flavor profile.

How should I store leftover Chilli Oil Mushrooms with Scrambled Eggs?
You can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. It’s best to keep the mushrooms separate from the scrambled eggs, as this will help preserve their textures. Just remember that freshness is key for the best flavor!

Can I freeze the Chilli Oil Mushrooms?
While the scrambled eggs don’t freeze well, you can freeze the mushroom mixture! Place it in an airtight container or freezer bag and store it for up to 2 months. When you’re ready to use it, thaw overnight in the fridge, then reheat in a pan over medium heat.

What if my scrambled eggs turn out too dry?
No worries! If you find your eggs have become dry, the next time you scramble them, cook them over very low heat and stir continuously. This will help keep them creamy. Additionally, adding a splash of milk or cream while whisking can make a difference in achieving that luscious texture!

Are there any dietary considerations for this recipe?
Indeed! If you’re allergic to eggs, consider using a scrambled tofu alternative that’s flavored similarly. For gluten-free options, simply substitute the sourdough with gluten-free bread. It’s a flexible recipe, so feel free to adjust based on your dietary needs!

Can I use a different oil instead of Marion’s Kitchen Crispy Chilli Oil?
Certainly! While Marion’s oil adds a unique flavor, you can substitute with any chili oil or even olive oil for a milder version. Just keep in mind that the heat level may change depending on what you choose. Enjoy experimenting to find your perfect balance!
