This is a simple & easy way to make Ovos com Cogumelos, or Portuguese style Eggs and Mushrooms. The combination of the flavors in both the eggs and mushrooms along with the rest of the ingredients make for a very delicious and unique dish. It is one of the less traditional dishes in Portuguese cuisine but still on of my favorites. The directions and ingredients are pretty simple so go ahead and try it out and tell us what you think!

Ingredients:
6 eggs
1 tablespoon butter
Squeeze of lemon Juice
Cheese
Salt and pepper
