Vegie Brekkie

A great vegetarian breakfast from a small recipe book attached to the current copy of Better Homes Magazine. I liked this recipe as it has no bread and suits a vegetarian gluten-free breakfast. A great dish to serve to company. The large mushrooms form the base of the dish instead of using toast or rolls
