Descriptions

Savory Oatmeal with Fried Eggs is a delicious twist on traditional oats. This dish features creamy oatmeal cooked with broth, topped with a fried egg, veggies, and cheese. It’s a great way to add variety to your breakfast routine while keeping it wholesome and filling.

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, bring the broth or water to a boil. Add the oats and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are creamy.

Step 2

While the oatmeal is cooking, heat the olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Crack the egg into the skillet and fry until the whites are set and the yolk is still runny, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Season the oatmeal with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4

Transfer the oatmeal to a bowl and top with the sautéed vegetables and grated cheese.

Step 5

Place the fried egg on top and add any optional toppings, such as herbs, hot sauce, or avocado slices.

Step 6

Serve immediately and enjoy!

Pro Tips for Perfect Oatmeal

Use Broth for Flavor: Cooking oats in broth adds depth and richness.
Don’t Overcook Eggs: Keep yolks slightly runny for a creamy texture.
Season Well: Savory oatmeal benefits from bold seasonings—don’t skip the spices.
Customize Toppings: Add avocado slices, hot sauce, or nuts for extra flavor and crunch.
Prep Ahead: Cook oats in advance and reheat with a splash of water or broth.

FAQs

1. Can I make this recipe ahead of time? Yes! Cook the oatmeal and store it in the fridge. Reheat with a little water and cook fresh eggs before serving.

3. Can I make this vegan? Absolutely! Replace eggs with tofu scramble and use nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan.
