Ingredients
Savory Oatmeal
- ½ cup rolled oats
- 1 cup water
- Pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese
Toppings
- 1 tablespoon olive oil divided
- 1 shallot thinly sliced, small
- 4 ounces mushrooms halved
- 4 ounces baby spinach
- 1 egg large
- chives for serving
Instructions
Cook the Oatmeal
- Microwave Instructions: Place all the ingredients into a medium microwave safe bowl and stir together. Heat in the microwave on high until the oatmeal is puffed and softened, about 2 minutes. Immediately stir in the parmesan cheese.
- Stovetop Instructions: In a small saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and pour in the oats. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and have absorbed most of the liquid, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, cover and let stand for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the parmesan cheese.

Cook the Vegetables
- In a medium skillet, heat half tablespoon olive oil and add the shallots and cook until they start to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and continue cooking until browned, about 5 more minutes. Add the spinach and stir with the shallots with mushrooms until wilted, about 1 more minute. Spoon the vegetables over the cooked oats and set aside to keep warm.
- In the same skillet, heat the remaining olive oil and fry the egg until the whites are set. Serve over the oatmeal and sprinkle with chives, if desired.
Notes
- Prepare the oatmeal base up to 4-5 days in advance and store refrigerated for quick meals later.
- Vegetables can be swapped for others you have on hand without changing the overall profile.
