Steps

1. Bring the water or vegetable broth to a boil in a small pot.

5. Stir the sautéed spinach into the cooked oatmeal and season with salt and pepper.
6. Transfer oatmeal and spinach mixture to a bowl, top with the poached egg.
7. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired and serve immediately.
