If you have 1 cup of oatmeal and 2 eggs make this 5-minute breakfast recipe
You’ll get richer creamier oats because of the fat in the egg yolk. They’ll also be silkier and fluffier because of the added air from the whisking. Plus this dish will keep you feeling fuller longer than oatmeal alone thanks to the added protein from the egg. And because enriching your oats this way won’t affect the flavor you can err on the sweet or savory side depending on your preferences.
This simple breakfast trick can be used with any type of oatmeal you prefer — rolled steel-cut even instant — and your favorite cooking method including the microwave. But for best results old-fashioned oatmeal cooked on the stovetop is your best option. It doesn’t take much longer and the results are worth it.
Cook your oatmeal as you normally would and once it comes to a boil reduce the heat to low (you don’t want to overcook it) and slowly add the beaten egg to the pan whisking constantly until thick and creamy. In the same way that a slowly beaten egg is essential for making custard (like the kind you eat in banana cream pie) this method will make for an extra-delicious bowl of cereal.
