Savory Oatmeal with Eggs

Savory oatmeal with eggs is a hearty and nutritious dish that combines the wholesome goodness of oats with perfectly cooked eggs, making it a perfect lunch option. It's easy to prepare and packed with flavor, ensuring you stay satisfied throughout the day.

Ingredients

• Rolled oats - 1 cup
• Water or vegetable broth - 2 cups
• Spinach - 1 cup, chopped
• Cherry tomatoes - 1/2 cup, halved
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Eggs - 2 large
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Parmesan cheese - 2 tablespoons, grated (optional)
• Red pepper flakes - 1/4 teaspoon (optional)

Steps

1. In a medium saucepan, bring the water or vegetable broth to a boil. Add the rolled oats and reduce the heat to low, simmering for about 10 minutes or until the oats are tender and the liquid is mostly absorbed.
2. While the oats are cooking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add the chopped spinach and cherry tomatoes to the skillet, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the tomatoes are softened. Season with salt and black pepper.
4. In a separate small pan, cook the eggs to your preference (poached, sunny-side up, or scrambled). Season with salt and pepper.
5. Once the oats are cooked, stir in the sautéed spinach and tomatoes. If desired, mix in grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor.
6. Divide the savory oatmeal into two bowls, top each with a cooked egg, and sprinkle with red pepper flakes if using. Serve immediately.
