Step-By-Step Instructions:
- Heat a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 Tbsp olive oil and oats, stirring occasionally, until oats are fragrant, 2–3 minutes.
- Add the water and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, sauté the carrots and bell pepper in 1 teaspoon of olive oil until soft, 5–6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add remaining olive oil. Crack eggs into the skillet and cook until whites are solid.
- When the oats are finished, stir in the cottage cheese and cooked veggies.
- Divide oats between bowls and top with eggs, avocado, and cheese.
