Portobello Breakfast bake [paleo] [vegetarian]

Hi guys! So I have gotten quite a few requests for paleo recipes. I personally don't cut out any specific food groups from my diet, but I know this has gained popularity. Just a friendly reminder--there really is no reason to cut gluten from your diet unless you have celiac disease. Lowering your carb intake is good, but whole grains are good too. When it comes to cutting out dairy, do what you will--it is pretty high in fat, and there are a lot of other foods that are just as high in calcium as dairy is. I personally am repulsed by milk, but I'll use cheese any chance I can get.

Luckily for anyone who reads this blog, Matt doesn't like to eat dairy so I happen to make a lot of things for him that will fit the paleo diet.

Alright, so: I have decided to start tagging my posts as well, that way you can figure out if the recipe will be good for you without having to read through it.

And today's recipe: Portobello Breakfast Bake. If you like mushrooms and veggies, this is for you!


Start by cutting up your veggies. I used green pepper, orange pepper, and onion. 


Cut some tomato slices.


Preheat your oven to 375 and get a baking sheet ready. I have no idea what kinds of fats/oils people on the paleo diet use, but use whatever you want. 


 You also need to scramble some eggs at this point. I scrambled three egg whites. 



Take your portobello and cut the stem out. Then cut a bunch of criss crosses through the gills as this will make it easier to scoop them out. 


Scoop away and get all that stuff out. You can eat the gills if you want but.....I don't. 


Fill the mushroom with the veggies. 


Put a tomato slice on top, and sprinkle it with salt and pepper. 


Put your eggs on there...


And a few more veggies! Brush the mushroom with oil and add more salt, pepper, and whatever seasonings you want. Bake at 375 for 20 mns or so. 


Done!


Perfect and filling brain food.
