Step 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.

Step 2

Eggs: To poach egg, bring another pot of water to a simmer, then reduce heat so there are no bubbles but water is still hot. Crack your egg into a small bowl, then gently transfer the egg into 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!)

Step 3

Serve: Spoon oatmeal into a serving bowl. Top with poached egg, sliced avocado, parmesan, parsley, and pepper. Serve warm.
