Start your day strong with this Savory Oatmeal topped with a perfectly fried egg. It’s a warm, satisfying, and high-protein breakfast that proves oatmeal isn’t just for sweet toppings. You will love this simple, flavorful meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 cups water or broth (broth adds more flavor)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pinch of garlic powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil or butter
  • Optional toppings: chopped chives, hot sauce, grated cheese

Instructions

  1. Combine the oats, water or broth, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a small saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the oats are thick and creamy, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  4. While the oatmeal cooks, heat the olive oil or butter in a small non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  5. Carefully crack the eggs into the skillet. Cook to your preferred doneness, aiming for a runny yolk for best results, about 2 to 3 minutes for sunny-side up.
  6. Divide the cooked oatmeal between two bowls.
  7. Top each serving with one fried egg.
  8. Add your optional toppings like chives or a dash of hot sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy your hearty breakfast.

Notes

  • Use steel-cut oats for a chewier texture, but increase the cooking time significantly.
  • For extra flavor, use vegetable or chicken broth instead of water.
  • Adding a splash of soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce to the oatmeal during cooking gives it a deeper umami taste.
  • Cook the egg last to ensure it is perfectly hot when you serve it.
