# What You Need:

01 - 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
02 - 2 cups water or low-sodium vegetable broth
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

→ Vegetables

04 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
05 - 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

# How to Make It:

01 - In a medium saucepan, bring water or broth and salt to a boil. Stir in oats, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until creamy.
02 - While oats cook, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and red bell pepper and sauté for 2 minutes. Add cherry tomatoes and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until softened, then stir in spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
03 - In a separate nonstick skillet, cook eggs to your preference—fried, poached, or soft-boiled.
04 - Divide oatmeal between two bowls. Top each with sautéed vegetables, an egg, crumbled feta, herbs, and black pepper. Add hot sauce if desired.
