Ingredients

Scale

Oatmeal Base

  • 1/2 cup Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 pinch Salt

Toppings

  • 2 tablespoons Shaved Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/2 Avocado
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley
  • Ground Black Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the Oatmeal: Combine the old fashioned rolled oats, water, and a pinch of salt in a medium pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat and cook for about 10 minutes until all the water is absorbed and the oats reach a creamy consistency.
  2. Add Parmesan Cheese: Remove the pot from heat and stir in the shaved Parmesan cheese. Cover the pot to keep the oatmeal warm while you prepare the egg.
  3. Poach the Egg: Bring another pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack the egg into a small bowl, then gently slide it into the simmering water. Poach the egg for approximately 3 minutes until the whites are set but the yolk remains soft. Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the egg from the water.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Spoon the warm oatmeal into a serving bowl. Top with the poached egg, sliced or diced half avocado, fresh parsley, and a sprinkle of ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Use fresh and high-quality eggs for best poaching results.
  • To make the poaching process easier, add a splash of vinegar to the simmering water (optional) to help the egg whites coagulate faster.
  • For a vegan version, omit the egg and parmesan, and add nutritional yeast or your favorite vegan cheese alternative.
  • Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
  • This recipe can be doubled easily for a larger serving.
