Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 cups water or milk (or a combination of both)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon mixed seeds (such as chia, pumpkin, or sunflower)
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
  • Optional: fresh herbs (like chives or parsley) for garnish

How to Make Savory Oatmeal with Soft-Boiled Egg

  1. Start by bringing water or milk to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the salt and the rolled oats.
  2. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer the oats for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are creamy and cooked through.
  3. While the oats are cooking, bring a separate small pot of water to a gentle boil. Carefully add the egg and boil for 6-7 minutes for a soft-boiled egg. Once done, transfer the egg to an ice bath for a few minutes to stop the cooking process.
  4. After the oats are cooked, remove them from heat and stir in black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Peel the soft-boiled egg and slice it in half.
  6. To serve, spoon the savory oatmeal into a bowl, top with the sliced egg, sprinkle with mixed seeds, and add fresh raspberries on the side. Garnish with herbs if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Use fresh, high-quality eggs for the best flavor and texture.
  • For creamier oatmeal, consider using milk or a milk alternative instead of water.
  • Stir the oatmeal occasionally while it cooks to prevent sticking.
  • Adjust the consistency by adding more liquid if you prefer a thinner oatmeal.

Easy Variations

  • Swap the raspberries for other fruits like sliced avocado or cherry tomatoes for a different flavor.
  • Add sautéed spinach or other greens for an extra nutrient boost.
  • Mix in some cheese, like feta or goat cheese, for a savory twist.
  • Drizzle with hot sauce or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for added heat.

What to Serve With It

  • A side of crispy bacon or turkey sausage for added protein.
  • Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
  • A smoothie for a complete breakfast experience.
  • Toast with avocado for additional healthy fats.

Storage and Reheating

Savory oatmeal is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of water or milk to restore creaminess.
