1 1/2 cups water
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
3 cups tightly packed baby spinach leaves
4 eggs
sea salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
chopped scallions and red pepper for garnish

Bring the 1 1/2 cups water to boil in a small pot with lid. Add oats and the 1/8 teaspoon sea salt, stir well, reduce heat to a very low simmer, cover and cook for about 5 minutes, until oats are done to your liking.A few minutes before oats are done cooking, boil enough water in a medium saucepan to poach the four eggs for three minutes

Stir the spinach leaves into the oats, add a couple of tablespoons of water if necessary to help them mix in, and let the mixture sit, covered, with the heat turned off, for a couple of minutes.

Spoon the oat-spinach mixture into two serving bowls and top each with two poached eggs. Garnish with the chopped scallions and add pepper on top.
