Default Trumpet Mushrooms what I did

I took Bob Terwilliger's idea and put them in scrambled eggs.

First I cut them in half lengthwise. I later cut into smaller pieces

Sautéd in a little butter

I took a taste of the mushrooms to see what they taste like, and to
determine which cheese would go good with them in the eggs. I decided
on Manchego.

Cooked up and topped with cheese.

Plated and dusted with some freshly ground grey salt and served with a
hot flour tortilla. mmmmm

I am not a mushroom expert, nor do I play one on t.v.
I like these very much. They have a meaty texture and a mild clean
mushroom flavor.
I don't think I'd go with a cheese any stronger than the Manchego with
them, they could be overpowered easily.
At first I thought I'd sauté them and top a grilled steak with them
but they are too meaty for that. My thoughts are that they are a good
meat substitute.

Now I wish I would have bought another carton of them .
