Ingredients

  • 1 cup water 236 mL
  • ½ cup rolled oats 60 g
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 large egg more if you're hungrier!
  • ½ avocado pitted, peeled, and sliced
  • 2 Tbsp Parmesan Cheese 15 g
  • 1 Tbsp chopped parsley 5 g
  • Pinch of ground pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Oats: Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add oats and a pinch of salt, cover, reduce to a simmer, and let cook for 5 minutes. After cooking, remove from heat and let sit for 3 minutes. Cover to keep warm and set aside.
  2. Eggs: To poach the egg, bring another pot of water to a simmer, then reduce the heat so there are no bubbles but the water is still hot. Crack your egg into a small bowl, then gently transfer the egg to the hot water. Poach for about 3 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon*. (Not a fan of poached eggs? Flat-fried and soft-boiled also work!)
  3. Serve: Spoon oatmeal into a serving bowl. Top with poached egg, sliced avocado, Parmesan, parsley, and pepper. Serve warm.

Notes

  • *Need help poaching an egg? My boy Jamie Oliver has a great egg-poaching tutorial with a few easy methods.
  • This does not store well. It is best eaten right away, but you can store the oatmeal (on its own) in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge. To reheat it, pop it in the microwave with a little water to rehydrate the oats.
