Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook until softened, about 2 minutes.

Step 2

Add the oats and garlic and stir to coat in the oil, then add the water and salt and bring to a boil.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Remove from the heat and portion into bowls.

Step 5

Top with the sautéed vegetables, eggs, scallions, avocado, and microgreens.

Step 6

Serve with drizzles of hot sauce and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Chef’s notes

Use steel-cut oats for a creamy, chewy texture similar to risotto.

Customize toppings according to preference, including plant-based proteins, roasted vegetables, and cheeses.

Savory oatmeal can be prepped ahead for busy mornings. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat before eating.
