Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 cups vegetable broth (or water)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 whole avocado, sliced
  • 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • to taste salt and black pepper
  • for garnish fresh herbs (like chives or parsley)

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil.
  2. Stir in the rolled oats, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt. Reduce the heat to low and let simmer for about 5-7 minutes until the oats are creamy, stirring occasionally.
  3. While the oatmeal is cooking, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  4. Crack the eggs into the skillet, sunny-side up or scrambled as preferred, cooking until the whites are set but yolks are still runny (or to your desired doneness). Season with salt and pepper.
  5. In the same skillet, add the fresh spinach and cherry tomatoes. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the tomatoes are slightly softened.
  6. Once the oats are ready, divide the savory oatmeal into two bowls. Top each bowl with an egg, sautéed spinach, and cherry tomatoes.
  7. Garnish with sliced avocado and fresh herbs for an added touch of flavor and color.
  8. Serve warm and enjoy your wholesome, savory oatmeal!
