This savory oatmeal bowl elevates your breakfast game with creamy oats, fresh spinach, and a perfectly poached egg. It's a nutritious and hearty dish that will keep you energized throughout the day.

Steps

1. In a saucepan, bring the water or vegetable broth to a boil. 2. Add the rolled oats and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until creamy. 3. While the oats are cooking, heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add chopped spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. 4. In a separate pot, bring water to a gentle simmer. Crack the egg into a small bowl, then gently slide it into the simmering water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolk remains runny. 5. Once the oats are done, stir in the sautéed spinach and nutritional yeast if using. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 6. Serve the oatmeal in a bowl, topped with the poached egg. Garnish with red pepper flakes if desired.
