Steps
- 1Begin by preheating the oven to 375°F. Take a large bowl and add the mushrooms to it. Drizzle 4 tablespoons of oil over the mushrooms and toss them gently to coat evenly. Transfer the oiled mushrooms onto a rimmed baking sheet. Season with coarse salt and pepper, ensuring even distribution. Roast in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until tender. Allow the roasted mushrooms to cool for up to 2 hours before serving.
- 2Prepare a large bowl of cool water next to the stovetop. Fill a large skillet with water until it reaches a depth of 2 inches. Stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and sprinkle a generous amount of coarse salt into the skillet. Heat the water over medium heat until it simmers gently. Carefully crack one egg at a time into the simmering water, allowing the whites to spread slightly. Let the eggs simmer for about 3 minutes, ensuring that the whites are fully cooked while the yolks remain soft, spooning some of the hot water over them occasionally during cooking.
