In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a rolling boil. Stir in 1/2 cup of rolled oats and a pinch of sea salt, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the oats simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become creamy and tender.

After 5 minutes of simmering, remove the pot from heat but keep it covered. Let the oatmeal rest for an additional 3 minutes.

While the oats are resting, fill another pot with water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Crack an egg into a small bowl, then carefully slip the egg into the simmering water. Poach it for about 3 minutes until the egg white is set, and the yolk remains runny.

Once the oatmeal has rested, spoon it into a cozy bowl. Top it with the perfectly poached egg, sliced avocado, and a generous sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Add a dash of black pepper and fresh herbs like parsley to enhance the flavors.

Your creamy savory avocado oatmeal is ready to enjoy! Serve it warm.
