Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped shallot about 1 small
  • 3/4 cup steel-cut oats
  • 1 clove garlic grated
  • 2 1/4 cups water
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Toppings

  • Sautéed spinach and/or mushrooms
  • Soft boiled eggs or poached eggs
  • Chopped scallions
  • Avocado slices
  • Microgreens
  • Hot sauce
  • Lemon wedge

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the oats and garlic and stir to coat in the oil, then add the water and salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the oats are thick and creamy but still have a slight bite. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Remove from the heat and portion into bowls. Top with the sautéed vegetables, eggs, scallions, avocado, and microgreens. Serve with drizzles of hot sauce and a squeeze of lemon juice.
