Cooking Steps
  1. In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Add a pinch of sea salt once boiling.
  2. Add the rolled oats to the boiling water. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 5 minutes.
  3. Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 3 minutes.
  4. While the oatmeal is resting, poach the egg by gently simmering water in a small pot and cooking the egg for about 3 minutes.
  5. Spoon the oatmeal into a bowl, making a well in the center for the poached egg.
  6. Slice the avocado and arrange it alongside the poached egg on the oatmeal. Optionally sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, fresh herbs, and black pepper.
  7. Serve warm and enjoy your savory avocado oatmeal.
