Ingredients

1 cup steel-cut oats
3 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1 cup water
2 large eggs
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
2 scallions (green onions), thinly sliced
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

Instructions

1

Bring 3 cups low-sodium vegetable broth and 1 cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in 1 cup steel-cut oats, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp kosher salt. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the oats are creamy and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 20-22 minutes.
2

Meanwhile, bring a small saucepan of water to a gentle boil. Lower 2 large eggs in carefully and cook for exactly 7 minutes for a jammy yolk. Transfer to an ice bath for 2 minutes, then peel.
3

When the oats are done, stir in half of the 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese and 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Adjust salt as needed.
4

Divide the oats between bowls. Halve each egg and place on top. Drizzle with 2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil, sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan, 2 thinly sliced scallions (green onions), and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes. Serve immediately.
