Description
This Savory Oatmeal Bowl is a hearty, nourishing twist on classic oatmeal. Made with creamy oats topped with sautéed vegetables, eggs, and flavorful seasonings, it’s a satisfying and customizable breakfast or light meal.
Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 cup spinach or kale
- 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 egg (fried, poached, or soft-boiled)
- 2 tablespoons shredded cheese (optional)
- 1 green onion, chopped
- Red pepper flakes or hot sauce, optional for serving
Instructions
- In a small pot, bring the broth to a boil. Stir in oats, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté mushrooms until browned, then add spinach and tomatoes. Cook until wilted and softened.
- Prepare egg to your liking (fried, poached, or boiled).
- Spoon cooked oats into a bowl. Top with sautéed vegetables, egg, cheese (if using), and chopped green onions.
- Finish with red pepper flakes or hot sauce if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
- Switch up toppings with avocado, roasted veggies, or leftover proteins.
- Use steel-cut oats for a chewier texture (increase cooking time accordingly).
- Make it vegan by skipping the egg and cheese and adding tofu or beans.
