(1) Eat them in conjunction with a little bit of dietary fat (think coconut oil, pasture-raised butter, or ghee) to help your body absorb its nutrients more efficiently.

To get started, scrape out the gills and remove the stem from each mushroom (this will help create space for the arugula and tomatoes). When adding the arugula, neatly tuck the leafy stems within the portobello so that they don’t burn while baking. If you are not a fan of arugula, you can always sub in spinach instead. Add the chopped tomatoes on top and set aside. Tip: To prevent the portobellos from getting too soggy, scoop out the seeds and juice from the tomatoes before chopping.
Next, crack open an egg and place into the center of your prepared portobello cap. Repeat this step for all four mushroom caps or whisk the eggs beforehand if you prefer scrambled eggs instead. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until all egg whites are no longer clear. When finished, add on crumbled bacon, sea salt, and black pepper before digging in! Tip: You can also try drizzling a bit of avocado oil or ghee on top for added taste and nutrients.
