Savory Oatmeal With A Basted Egg Recipes

SAVORY OATMEAL WITH A BASTED EGG

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, bring 1 1/2 cups of water with a pinch of salt to a boil and stream in the oats. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the oats are soft, 30 to 45 minutes. Baste the egg while the oats are cooking.
• Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the olive oil and cheese. Top with the egg and season to taste with salt and pepper. Eat immediately.
• The basting method of frying requires a bit more fat, but also makes what I think are the best-tasting eggs. Plus it gives you the over-easy look without the scary flip.
• Place about 1/4 inch of oil in a cast-iron skillet, along with 1 tablespoon butter (or lard or duck fat). Heat over medium-high heat until the butter's melted and the oil's just shimmering. Then slide in your eggs. As they cook, use a spoon to push the fat in the pan up on top of the egg white, to help it cook evenly all over. Remove the eggs from the pan when the whites are solid, about 2 to 3 minutes, for a perfectly cooked egg with a runny yolk. For firmer yolks, cook a little longer.

SAVORY OATS WITH POACHED EGGS

Steps:

• Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce the heat to medium low, stir in the oats and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and thickened, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook the prosciutto in a large skillet over medium-high heat, flipping once, until crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel¿lined plate to drain.
• Add the olive oil, garlic, 1 teaspoon thyme and the rosemary to the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the garlic is lightly toasted, 10 seconds. Stir in the tomatoes and 1/2 cup water. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper; cover to keep warm.
• Wipe out the skillet and fill halfway with water; bring to a gentle simmer over medium-high heat. Carefully crack the eggs into the water and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon and season with salt and pepper. Top each serving of oats with the tomato sauce and parmesan. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 teaspoon thyme and top with the poached eggs and prosciutto.
