Ingredients :

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup water or broth
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
  • 1 large egg
  • Optional toppings: chopped chives, red pepper flakes, soy sauce

Method :

  1. Combine rolled oats, water or broth, salt, and pepper in a small saucepan.
  2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until oats are cooked and creamy.
  3. While the oatmeal is cooking, heat butter or olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  4. Crack the egg into the skillet and fry to your desired doneness (sunny-side up, over-easy, etc.).
  5. Pour the cooked savory oatmeal into a bowl.
  6. Top the oatmeal with the fried egg.
  7. Add any optional toppings like chopped chives, red pepper flakes, or a drizzle of soy sauce.

Recipe Notes :

Chef’s Tip: Use chicken or vegetable broth instead of water for a richer flavor in your oatmeal.
Variation: Add a pinch of garlic powder or a dash of hot sauce to the oatmeal for extra zest.
Storage: Savory oatmeal is best enjoyed immediately; leftovers can be reheated but may lose some of their creamy texture.
