Instructions

1. Cook the Oats
   In a medium saucepan, bring water or vegetable broth to a gentle boil. Stir in oats and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thick and creamy.

2. Prepare the Spinach
   While oats cook, heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add spinach and sauté for 1–2 minutes until wilted. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

3. Cook the Eggs

   • Option 1 (Fried): In the same skillet, fry eggs to desired doneness.

   • Option 2 (Poached): Poach eggs in gently simmering water for 3–4 minutes.

   • Option 3 (Soft-Boiled): Boil eggs for 6–7 minutes, peel, and halve.

4. Season the Oats
   Stir salt, pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes into cooked oats. Adjust seasoning to taste.

5. Assemble
   Divide oatmeal into bowls. Top with sautéed spinach and one egg per bowl. Sprinkle with cheese (if using) and garnish with green onions.

6. Serve Immediately
   Enjoy warm.
