Savory Oats With Poached Eggs Recipes

SAVORY POACHED EGG OATMEAL

Steps:

• Add your oats, chicken stock, garlic, and a large pinch of salt to a big coffee mug (bigger the better so it doesn't boil over - you can also use a bowl)
• Microwave for 1 minute and 45 seconds, or until the liquid is absorbed into the oats*
• Meanwhile, add at least a few inches of water into a skillet and bring to a simmer. Season the water with a little salt and add a big splash of vinegar
• Crack one egg into a ramekin (or small bowl) so you can add it to the water more gently
• When simmering, create a vortex in the pan by swirling a spoon around the edge of the pan in a circular motion (will help the egg white come around the yolk)
• Gently add the egg to your pan while the water is still simmering, and simmer for 4 minutes
• Add your goat cheese into the cooked oats, stir well to combine, and season to taste with salt and pepper
• When your poached egg is done, add it to the top of the oatmeal and sprinkle over your chives

SAVORY OATMEAL WITH POACHED EGGS AND GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Add oatmeal, 3 cups water, and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan. When water boils, bring it to simmer and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until most of the water has been absorbed by the oats. Turn off heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of goat cheese. Divide oatmeal into 4 bowls.
• Fill a pot halfway with water and bring it to boil. Reduce heat to a simmer. You should still see some bubbles rising to the surface.
• Crack an egg into a small bowl or ramekin. Drop egg into simmering water. Repeat with one more egg. Cook eggs for 3 minutes and remove with a slotted spoon. Place an egg on top of each bowl of oatmeal. Cook remaining 2 eggs.
• Sprinkle each bowl with chopped almonds, black pepper, chives, red pepper, and tomatoes. Serve immediately.

SAVORY OATMEAL AND SOFT-COOKED EGG

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup water to a boil. Add oats and pinch of salt; stir, reduce heat, and simmer until tender, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, heat a small nonstick pan over medium. Coat lightly with cooking spray. Add egg and cook until white is set and yolk is still runny, about 3 minutes. Season egg to taste with salt and pepper. Serve oatmeal in a bowl topped with cheese, egg, and scallion greens.

SAVORY PARMESAN OATS WITH POACHED EGG

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the stock to a simmer. Add the oats and turn the heat down, stirring. Cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the liquid is fully absorbed and the oats are soft. Stir in the grated cheese.
• While the oats are cooking, poach or soft-boil an egg.
• To serve, top the oats with the egg, add salt and pepper to taste, and shave some more parmesan on top. Garnish with herbs.

SAVORY OATMEAL WITH CHEDDAR AND FRIED EGG

Steps:

• Bring water to boil. Add oatmeal, reduce heat a little and let it cook for about 3 minutes, until all liquid is absorbed. Turn off heat and stir in cheese, a small pinch of salt, and pepper.
• When the oatmeal is done, stir in shredded cheese, a small pinch of salt, and pepper.
• Heat a non-stick pan with 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add vegetables and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until they soften. Spoon vegetables over cooked oats. Reduce heat to medium.
• Add remaining 1/2 teaspoon of oil and fry egg. Cook until the whites are no longer translucent and serve over oatmeal.
• Top with chopped walnuts, green onions, and za'atar, if you like.
• Notes.
• *Different brands of oatmeal may have different cooking times for the microwave method. Check the packaging for instructions.
• If you want an even lighter meal, use coconut oil spray instead of coconut oil.
• If you have any leftover cooked vegetables from the day before, just add them to your oatmeal.
