How to make Oatmeal with a Poached Egg

Let’s cook the oatmeal first. Put a saucepan on medium heat, and add oats and milk to the pan. It’s healthier to use long-boiled oats, that need to be cooked for at least 10 mins.

Add a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper and mix. Cook till the oatmeal is soft.

Prepare the poached egg, according to the instructions here.

While the oatmeal and the poached egg are being cooked, let’s peel the pomegranate, and take the seeds out.
Prepare the Parmesan cheese. Grate it on a fine grater or use bought that is already fine grated.
Cut the hazelnuts. This is easy to do by pressing on them with the outside of the knife and then chopping with the knife’s blade.

When the oatmeal is cooked, add butter to the pan with the oatmeal and mix. This adds a creamy flavor to the final dish.

Let’s combine the dish. Place a couple of oatmeal in the serving bowl. Then sprinkle it with a bit of grated parmesan. Repeat the procedure till all the oatmeal is in the bowl. Finish by placing the layer of Parmesan cheese.

Add a handful of pomegranate seeds to the oatmeal, then sprinkle it with chopped hazelnuts.

Finish the dish by placing the poached egg on top of the oatmeal. Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper and enjoy your delicious Oatmeal with a Poached Egg!
