Finely chop one spring onion and place it in a bowl. Whisk in the oil and lemon juice, season with salt and pepper, and reserve as the dressing.
Arrange the remaining spring onions on a plate, coat them with a little oil, and season with salt and pepper.
Set a large cast-iron grill pan or frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the spring onions, turning now and then, until tender and lightly charred, roughly 5 minutes. Split them between two plates.
Fill two microwave-safe cups about halfway with water. Crack an egg into each, ensuring it is fully submerged. To reduce the chance of the yolk bursting, gently pierce it with a wooden toothpick or the point of a knife.
Place a saucer over each cup. Microwave on high until the white is set but the yolk remains runny, about 1 minute (timing will vary by microwave).
Remove the covers and, with a slotted spoon, lift an egg onto each portion of spring onions. Spoon half of the reserved sauce over each and serve.
