Preparation
Step 1
Any mushrooms will work for this recipe - wild or store-bought. I used king oyster mushrooms, but oyster mushrooms also fit well. If you have fresh wild mushrooms, boil them first. If frozen, thaw them.
Step 2
Heat a skillet over medium heat and pour in neutral vegetable oil. Add the chopped mushrooms. Don’t worry if there are many - they will shrink during frying.
Step 3
Fry the mushrooms, stirring, until the liquid evaporates. To help them release moisture faster, add salt. At first, there will be a lot of water in the pan, then it will evaporate, and the mushrooms will start browning.
Step 4
Once that happens, crack eggs on top of the mushrooms. I prefer keeping the yolks whole and making sunny-side up eggs.
Step 5
To keep the whites cooked while the yolks remain runny, cook the eggs on the lowest heat. Do not cover with a lid - otherwise, the yolks will turn pale. Once the whites are set, remove the skillet from heat.
Step 6
Serve the mushrooms with eggs immediately - they taste best piping hot. You can plate them or serve directly in the skillet. Season the eggs with salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
