5-Ingredient Savory Oatmeal with Soft Eggs

Serves 2 · 5 min prep · 12 min cook

Ingredients

• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 4 large eggs
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 thinly sliced scallions
• 0.5 tsp kosher salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp olive oil or butter for eggs

Instructions

1. 1In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Stir in the oats and salt.
2. 2Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer the oats, stirring often, for 5 to 7 minutes until thick, creamy, and most of the liquid is absorbed.
3. 3While the oats cook, heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat with a light film of oil or butter. Crack in the eggs and cook sunny-side or over-easy until whites are set and yolks remain runny, about 3 to 4 minutes.
4. 4Season the eggs lightly with salt and pepper. Remove from heat so the yolks stay soft.
5. 5Stir most of the grated Parmesan into the finished oatmeal until melted and savory. Taste and adjust seasoning.
6. 6Divide the hot oatmeal between two bowls. Nestle two soft eggs on top of each bowl.
7. 7Scatter the remaining Parmesan and the sliced scallions over the eggs and oats. Crack extra black pepper on top.
8. 8Serve immediately while the yolks can still run into the creamy oats, creating a rich sauce with each bite.
