Savory Oatmeal with Egg Recipe

American · Main course · 15 min total

A hearty and satisfying twist on oatmeal, this savory version is topped with a perfectly fried egg for a protein-packed breakfast or lunch.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup water or low-sodium vegetable broth
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter or olive oil
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives or green onions

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, bring water or broth to a boil. Add oats and salt, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until oats are tender and liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes.
2. Stir in black pepper and half of the butter or oil. Transfer oatmeal to a bowl.
3. In a nonstick skillet, heat remaining butter or oil over medium heat. Crack egg into skillet and cook until white is set and yolk is still runny, about 3 minutes, or to your liking.
4. Place fried egg on top of oatmeal. Sprinkle with Parmesan (if using) and chives. Serve immediately.

Tips

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or garlic powder to the oatmeal while cooking.
• You can substitute the egg with a poached or soft-boiled egg.
• Leftover oatmeal can be reheated with a splash of water or broth.
