Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (180g) rolled oats
  • 4 cups (960ml) vegetable broth, low sodium
  • ½ tsp (3g) sea salt
  • ½ tsp (1g) cracked black pepper
  • 1 tbsp (14g) butter
  • 4 cups (60g) fresh baby spinach
  • 2 large (300g) ripe avocados, sliced
  • ¼ cup (35g) toasted pumpkin seeds
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 8 large (400g) eggs
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) white distilled vinegar
  • 1 pinch (1g) salt

Instructions:

  1. In a medium pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the oats to lightly toast them for 1 minute until they smell nutty.
  2. Pour in the vegetable broth, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are creamy but still hold their shape.
  3. Fill a deep saucepan with water and add the vinegar and salt. Bring to a very light simmer (tiny bubbles at the bottom, not a rolling boil).
  4. Crack each egg into a ramekin. Gently slide the egg into the water. Cook for 3 minutes for a jammy center or 4 minutes for a more set yolk.
  5. Remove eggs with a slotted spoon and let them drain on a paper towel for 30 seconds.
  6. Divide the savory oats evenly among four bowls. Top each with a handful of fresh greens, avocado slices, and toasted pumpkin seeds.
  7. Drizzle with olive oil and fresh lemon juice, then top each bowl with two poached eggs.
