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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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).
- 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.
- Remove eggs with a slotted spoon and let them drain on a paper towel for 30 seconds.
- Divide the savory oats evenly among four bowls. Top each with a handful of fresh greens, avocado slices, and toasted pumpkin seeds.
- Drizzle with olive oil and fresh lemon juice, then top each bowl with two poached eggs.
