Scrumptious egg salad is loaded into grilled portobello mushrooms and then garnished with roma tomatoes. The recipe uses an electric egg cooker but you can make this using leftover hard-boiled eggs or make them on the stove top.
- 6 eggs
- 4 large portobello mushroom caps about 5 inch diameter
- 1/4 cup real mayonnaise
- 1-1/2 tsp lemon juice
- 1 rib celery finely chopped
- 2 green onions white and light green sections thinly sliced
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 roma tomatoes sliced
- Pierce the bottom of each egg. Fill water in the measuring container to the “Hard” line and pour into the cooker. Place the eggs in the boiling tray bottom-side up. Cover and press the Power button. When the cooker beeps, transfer eggs to a bowl of cold water until cool enough to handle. Peel eggs under cold running water; dry with a paper towel. Coarsely chop eggs.
- Meanwhile, add portobello mushrooms, top side up, to a foil-lined baking sheet. Brush with olive oil. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until slightly softened and golden brown. Arrange mushrooms bottom side up on serving plates. Let cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, combine eggs, mayonnaise, lemon juice, celery and green onions, mashing together with a potato masher or firm whisk, until your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper, mixing well. Fill the mushrooms with the egg salad mixture. Garnish with sliced tomatoes. Serve immediately.
