Instructions

Step 1: Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Gently lower 4 large eggs and cook for exactly 7 minutes for soft-boiled yolks. Immediately transfer eggs to an ice bath for 5 minutes, then peel and set aside.
Step 2: Meanwhile, pulse 1 medium cauliflower head in a food processor until it resembles rice (about 4 cups).
Step 3: Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 8 oz sliced baby cremini mushrooms and sauté for 5-6 minutes until browned and their moisture evaporates.
Step 4: Add 3 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5: Stir in the riced cauliflower, season with 1/2 tsp sea salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper, and sauté for 6-7 minutes, stirring frequently until tender and slightly golden.
Step 6: Remove from heat and stir in 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley and 1 tsp lemon zest to brighten the flavors.
Step 7: Divide sautéed cauliflower rice between 4 plates and top each with one soft-boiled egg, seasoned with remaining 1/2 tsp sea salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
