Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
4 eggs
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
6 slices bacon, chopped
½ lb sliced brown mushrooms
1 tbsp Better Than Bouillon® Roasted Garlic Base
4 pkg instant ramen noodles (spice packets reserved for another use)
1 tbsp finely chopped fresh chives

Directions

  • 1

    Whisk together eggs and 3/4 cup Parmesan; set aside.

  • 2

    Cook bacon in large high-sided skillet set over medium heat for 7 to 10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Using slotted spoon, transfer to paper towel–lined plate. Set aside.

  • 3

    Remove all but 1 tbsp bacon fat from pan; cook mushrooms and Roasted Garlic Base over medium-high heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until mushrooms are tender and slightly caramelized.

  • 4

    Meanwhile, in pot of boiling salted water, cook ramen noodles for 1 to 2 minutes or until noodles separate from each other and are very al dente. Drain noodles, reserving 1/2 cup cooking liquid.

  • 5

    Add noodles to pan with mushrooms. Remove from heat; stir in reserved cooking liquid. Immediately stir in egg and cheese mixture, tossing constantly for 1 minute or until sauce is thickened enough to coat noodles. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan, bacon and chives over top.

Tip: For extra flavor, sprinkle with more Parmesan and chives before serving.
