Chef's Note
For a creamier texture, you can substitute half of the water with milk. The key to perfect poached eggs is using the freshest eggs possible and keeping the water at a gentle simmer, not a rolling boil. If you're short on time, you can use quick-cooking steel-cut oats, which will reduce the cooking time by about 10 minutes.

Ingredients
1 cup steel-cut oats
3 cups water
1 cup low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups baby spinach
1 tablespoon white vinegar
4 large eggs
1 medium avocado, sliced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
3 green onions, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- 1
In a medium saucepan, bring 3 cups of water and 1 cup of broth to a boil. Add 1 cup of steel-cut oats and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until oats are tender but still have some bite.
- 2
While oats are cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes until golden brown.
- 3
Add 2 minced garlic cloves to the mushrooms and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add 2 cups of baby spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
- 4
Fill a large, deep skillet with water, leaving about 3 inches from the top. Bring to a gentle simmer and add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar.
- 5
Crack each egg into a small bowl. Create a gentle whirlpool in the water with a spoon, then carefully slide each egg into the water. Poach for 3-4 minutes for runny yolks. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel to drain.
- 6
Stir 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme leaves into the cooked oatmeal.
- 7
Divide the oatmeal among 4 bowls. Top each with the mushroom-spinach mixture, 1 poached egg, sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, and green onions.
- 8
Sprinkle each bowl with freshly ground black pepper and grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
