Ingredients

Base Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats Hearty base for filling breakfast.
1 cup water Essential to cook the oats.
a pinch salt Enhances the flavor.
1 medium avocado Ripe Hass avocados for creamy texture.
1 large egg Can be poached, fried, or boiled.
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese Adds savory umami flavor.
a handful fresh herbs (e.g., parsley) Adds freshness.
to taste ground black pepper Finishing touch.

Method

Cooking Oats

Start by bringing the water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add a pinch of salt to the water for flavor.
Once boiling, stir in the rolled oats. Lower the heat and let them simmer for about 5-7 minutes, until they achieve a creamy consistency.

Preparing the Egg

While the oats are cooking, prepare your egg to your liking. You can poach, fry, or boil it depending on your preference.

Combining Ingredients

Once the oatmeal is cooked, remove it from the heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.
Scoop the avocado out of its skin and mash it slightly or slice it, whichever you prefer.
Serve the oatmeal warm in a bowl, topped with the avocado, your egg, a sprinkle of fresh herbs, and a dash of ground black pepper.

Notes

Enjoy fresh for the best results. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat on the stove with a splash of water or milk to regain creaminess. Store avocado separately if possible to prevent browning.
