Combine oats, water, and salt in a medium pot and bring to a simmer over medium/low heat. Cook for about 10 minutes, until water is all absorbed.
Remove oatmeal from stove and stir in parmesan cheese. Cover to keep warm and set aside.
Bring another pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack your egg in a small bowl, then gently lower into the hot water. Poach for about 3 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon*.
Spoon oatmeal into a serving bowl. Top with poached egg, sliced avocado, chopped parsley, and pepper. Serve warm.
