Ingredients
1 cup rolled oats
2 cups water or broth
2 large eggs
1 cup spinach, sautéed
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil for cooking
Instructions
-
Bring water or broth to a boil in a saucepan. Add oats and cook according to package instructions (about 5-10 minutes), until soft and creamy.
-
While oats cook, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add spinach and sauté for 3-4 minutes until wilted. Set aside.
-
In a separate pan, bring water to a gentle boil. Poach the eggs for 3-4 minutes until whites are set and yolks are still runny.
-
Divide cooked oatmeal into bowls. Top with sautéed spinach and a poached egg.
-
Season with salt and pepper, and serve warm.
Notes
Add grated cheese (like Parmesan or feta) for extra flavor.
Use any leafy green like kale or arugula instead of spinach.
Add herbs like parsley, thyme, or chives for a fresh burst.
Make it spicier with red pepper flakes or hot sauce.
For a vegan version, swap poached eggs with sautéed tofu or chickpeas.
For a creamy twist, top with sliced avocado.
