Cook the Oatmeal. In a saucepan, bring water or broth to a boil. Stir in the oats, reduce the heat, and simmer until the oats are creamy and cooked.
Cook the Bacon. While the oats are cooking, cook the bacon until it's crispy. Once cooked, crumble or chop it into bite-sized pieces. Reserve a teaspoon of the renderings.
Cook the Eggs. In a separate skillet, fry or poach the eggs until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
Assemble the Dish. Once the oatmeal is ready, season it with bacon renderings, salt, and pepper. Divide the oatmeal into serving bowls, top with the crispy bacon and a perfectly cooked egg.
Garnish. Finish off with a sprinkle of your favorite chopped herbs for a burst of freshness.
