Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. 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.
  2. After 5 minutes of simmering, remove the pot from heat but keep it covered. Let the oatmeal rest for an additional 3 minutes.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Your creamy savory avocado oatmeal is ready to enjoy! Serve it warm.

Notes

For best flavor, season the oats during cooking and slice the avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
