Puffball mushrooms are an edible species of fungi (calvatia gigante). The fluffy texture and earthy flavor is great in eggs, soups, and quiche. Be careful if you try to harvest wild puffball mushrooms; they can be mistaken for young amanita mushrooms, which can be toxic or downright deadly. To identify: When cut in half, the fungus should be solid and pure eggshell white or light yellow. There should be no outline of a small mushroom inside.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter , or more to taste
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup diced puffball mushrooms

Pour eggs into the hot butter in the skillet and scramble to create soft, fluffy curds. Add remaining green onions, salt, and pepper while scrambling to desired doneness, 3 to 5 minutes, being careful not to overcook. Garnish with reserved green onions.

Deluxe Corned Beef Hash
This corned beef hash is a great way to use up leftover St. Paddy's Day corned beef. I purposely cook a whole corned beef just to make this hash! I throw the carrot in for color, claiming it's the leprechaun's gold. Serve with an egg on top.

Nazook (Sweet Persian Pastry)
Nazook is a rich, sweet Persian pastry that is not too sweet and wonderful with tea or coffee. I developed this recipe version while trying to reproduce a commercial product from a bakery in Salem, OR. I think mine is much better. This recipe is not for people who are watching their fat intake.
