Savory Oatmeal
Oatmeal does not need to be sweet. In this recipe, we take that familiar grain in a new direction, creating a creamy, savory porridge which might just remind you of a delicious risotto. Topped with a couple of poached or fried eggs, you have a hearty breakfast which will keep you full much longer than its sweet counterparts do.
Ingredients
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 2 cups light broth (chicken, vegetable, etc.)
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp dried Italian herb mix
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 eggs poached or fried
- chopped parsley to garnish (optional)
- additional grated Parmesan to garnish (optional)
- drizzle of olive oil to garnish (optional)
- crushed red pepper to garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Add the oats, broth, pepper, and herbs to a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring regularly, until the oats are soft, and the mixture is thick and starchy.
- Add the grated parmesan and stir until fully melted. Remove from heat.
- Divide the oats between two plates and top with fried or poached eggs and garnish with chopped parsley, crushed red pepper, additional grated parmesan cheese, and a drizzle of olive oil, if desired.
