Eggs Are The Savory Topping Your Oatmeal Is Lacking
By Crystal Antonace
Many of us count on warm bowls of oatmeal with honey and fruit as a sweeter breakfast choice, but you can also adorn this nutritious meal with savory foods like eggs.
The most obvious way to add eggs to oatmeal is by cooking the oats as directed on the package and then, in a separate skillet, scramble and fry eggs to your liking.
Once the oats finish cooking, add salt, pepper, and butter, and place the eggs directly on top. Avoid overcooking the eggs so they can blend with the warm, soft oats.
You can also add the egg as the oatmeal cooks. Simply bring a cup of water or milk to a boil, add a ¾ cup of quick oats, and then whisk a raw egg in a bowl until frothy.
As the oatmeal cooks, slowly add the raw egg in small increments, stirring after each addition. You should be left with a creamy, rich oatmeal, prime for other savory toppings.
