Step by Step Guide to Making Oats with Eggs and Milk
This breakfast comes together in three basic steps mix, cook, and top. But each step holds opportunities for flavor upgrades and texture tweaks. Let’s break it down.
Ingredients
- 1 cup of oats (rolled or quick oats)
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup of milk (dairy or plant based)
- ½ teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon of honey
- ½ cup of fresh berries (optional but highly recommended)
Directions
1: Mix the Base
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth.
- Add oats and cinnamon, and stir to combine. Let sit for 1-2 minutes so the oats absorb some liquid and soften slightly.
2: Cook in a Skillet
- Heat a non stick skillet over medium heat. No oil is needed, but you can lightly grease it if you prefer a crispier edge.
- Pour the oat mixture into the skillet, spreading it out like a pancake or omelet.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and firm to the touch.
3: Add Honey and Berries
- Once cooked, transfer to a plate. Drizzle with honey while still warm so it melts slightly into the oats.
- Top with fresh berries strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or sliced banana work beautifully.
