Description

Imagine starting your day with a taste of Italy, a savory experience that delights the senses. This recipe features hearty portobello mushroom caps, transformed into a satisfying benedict-style breakfast. Each mushroom is generously topped with a rich sausage gravy, crafted from ground Italian sausage that can be tailored to your preference – choose between the gentle warmth of mild or the fiery kick of spicy.

Alongside these savory mushrooms, you'll find creamy deviled eggs, elevated with a vibrant muffuletta topping. This topping is a medley of finely chopped olives, fragrant garlic, briny capers, and savory minced pancetta, creating a complex and irresistible flavor profile. Consider making a larger batch of the deviled eggs topping; its bright, zesty flavors make a wonderful addition to other dishes as well.

This ensures you have the perfect amount to complement the mushroom caps, without the fuss of preparing tiny quantities. The finished mushroom caps and deviled eggs can be stored separately in the refrigerator for up to three days, allowing you to prepare this meal in advance and enjoy it at your leisure. The recipe is structured to guide you through the most efficient order of preparation, minimizing your time in the kitchen and ensuring that each component is perfectly timed.

Begin with the mushroom caps, as they require the longest cooking time. While they roast to tender perfection in the oven, you can prepare the hard-boiled eggs. Since the deviled eggs are best served cold or at room temperature, they can be assembled and set aside while you focus on creating the luscious sausage gravy.

This approach guarantees a delightful contrast of cool, creamy eggs and warm, savory mushrooms. When selecting mushroom caps, consistency is key. Opt for packaged caps that are similar in size, especially when preparing multiple servings.

This will ensure even cooking and eliminate the need for extra trimming. Avoid caps with any tears or damage, as these are more likely to collapse during roasting. With these tips in mind, you're well on your way to creating a memorable and flavorful breakfast that will transport you to the heart of Italy.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat an oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a whole portobello mushroom per serving by slicing off any protruding stems and any extra mushroom cap that is covering the insides of the mushrooms. Drizzle about 1 teaspoon of olive oil over the top of each mushroom cap and rub the oil into the flesh. Flip the mushroom caps over so the insides are exposed and drizzle the remaining olive oil inside the mushrooms. Sprinkle the salt and pepper inside the mushrooms as well. Arrange the mushroom caps upside down on a seasoned sheet tray or a tray lined with parchment paper.
    2.
    Roast the portobello mushrooms in your oven for about 20 minutes. The mushrooms will become tender but not so tender that they lose their integrity. While the mushroom caps are in the oven, turn your attention to the deviled eggs. To make hard-boiled eggs, place the eggs in the bottom of a pot and fill the pot with water until the eggs are covered. You may wish to make more muffuletta deviled eggs than what is suggested in the recipe, depending on how many servings of this dish you like to make. At your discretion, you may add some vinegar to the water, as some believe this helps the eggs peel easier later on. Bring the pot of eggs to a rolling boil, then let the eggs boil continuously for 12 minutes. Immediately place the eggs in an ice bath and peel the shells off once they ve cooled.
    3.
    Make the muffuletta topping by adding already prepared tapenade to a small mixing bowl. Mince green olives, garlic, and pancetta, and add the ingredients to the bowl. Stir the extra virgin olive oil into the muffuletta topping and set this aside. Slice each peeled hard-boiled egg in half lengthwise. Scoop the cooked yolks into a new mixing bowl. Mash the egg yolks with a fork. Then, stir the mayonnaise, dijon, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and parsley into the yolks. Stir a spoonful of the muffuletta topping into the egg yolk filling as well.
    4.
    Scoop the deviled egg filling into a small Ziploc bag and cut the corner off the bag. Squeeze the Ziploc bag to distribute the filling into each cooked egg white. Once all the eggs are filled, spoon the remaining muffuletta filling over the deviled eggs. Set the finished deviled eggs on your serving plate, and turn your attention to the Italian sausage gravy.
    5.
    In a pan over high heat, cook ground Italian sausage. You can use pre-ground Italian sausage from the grocery store or remove the casing from whole links. One link of Italian sausage typically makes 2 servings. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to break the ground sausage up as it cooks in the pan. When the sausage is crumbly, browned, and slightly crispy, reduce the stove heat to low.
    6.
    Melt the butter into the pan of sausage. Then, add in minced garlic and onion powder. Pour the chicken broth and heavy cream into the pan and stir to combine. Place a lid over the pan and let the sausage gravy bubble over low heat until it thickens. Once the gravy has thickened, arrange the roasted mushroom caps alongside the deviled eggs on a serving plate. Spoon the sausage gravy over the mushrooms and serve hot.
