Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups water
- 0.5 cup milk (optional, dairy or plant-based)
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon butter or olive oil (optional, for finishing)
- 1 tablespoon chopped herbs (optional, such as parsley or chives)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water, and a pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the oats, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes, or until the oats thicken to your desired consistency.
Once the oats are almost done, crack the egg into a small bowl and gently slide it into the saucepan. Carefully stir the oatmeal around the egg, ensuring the yolk stays intact. Allow the egg to poach in the simmering oats for about 2-3 minutes, or until the whites are fully set and the yolk is still runny. Alternatively, stir the egg into the oats for a creamy texture.
If desired, stir in the milk at this stage to make the porridge creamier. Cook for 1 more minute, then remove the saucepan from heat.
Transfer the oatmeal porridge to a serving bowl. Season with black pepper, a drizzle of butter or olive oil, and sprinkle with fresh herbs if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your warm, nourishing oatmeal porridge with egg.
