Savory Oatmeal with Soft Boiled Egg
If you’ve never tried savory oatmeal, this one is about to change your whole morning routine. It’s warm, filling, and honestly feels more like a real meal than a bowl of sweet oats ever could. I make this on busy weekdays when I need something that sticks with me all the way to lunch.

Ingredients

How to Make It
Bring your broth to a boil in a small saucepan and stir in the oats, cooking until thick and creamy, about 5 minutes. While that cooks, soft-boil your egg by simmering it for exactly 6 minutes then dunking it in ice water. Stir the soy sauce into your cooked oats, then spoon them into a bowl and top with sliced avocado and the halved soft-boiled egg. Finish with a generous sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning and dig in.
