Savory Oatmeal with Spinach and Poached Egg
Ingredients
- 1 cup GF rolled oats
- 2 cups water or vegetable broth
- ¼ tsp salt plus more to taste
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil plus more for drizzling
- 2 cups fresh spinach roughly chopped
- 2 large eggs
- tsp. vinegar for poaching the eggs
- Ground paprika for garnish
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring the water or vegetable broth to a boil. Add the oats and salt, reducing the heat to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and have absorbed the liquid, about 5-7 minutes.
- While the oatmeal cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and sauté until just wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with a little salt to taste.
- Bring a small pot of water to a gentle simmer and add a teaspoon of vinegar. Crack an egg into a small bowl and gently slide it into the simmering water. Repeat with the second egg. Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and set them on a paper towel to drain.
- Divide the cooked oatmeal between two bowls. Top each with the sautéed spinach and a poached egg. Season with paprika, freshly ground black pepper, and an extra sprinkle of salt if needed.
- Drizzle each serving with a bit more olive oil for richness and serve immediately
Tip:
- To elevate this dish even further, consider adding a sprinkle of grated Parmesan or a dash of hot sauce for an extra layer of flavor.
