A creamy, nutty oatmeal paired with earthy sautéed mushrooms and topped with a perfectly poached egg for a warm, hearty comfort food dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90 g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 cups (480 ml) vegetable broth or water
  • 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
  • 1 cup (100 g) sliced mushrooms
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 egg
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, optional for garnish
  • Optional additions: grated Parmesan cheese, red chili flakes, truffle oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oatmeal: In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups (480 ml) of vegetable broth or water to a boil. Add 1 cup (90 g) of rolled oats, reduce the heat to low, and let simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until creamy. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Sauté the mushrooms: While the oats are cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of butter or olive oil in a small frying pan over medium heat. Add 1 cup (100 g) of sliced mushrooms and 1 minced garlic clove. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are golden and tender, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Poach the eggs: Fill a small saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add a splash of vinegar (optional, to help the egg whites set). Crack one egg into a small ramekin, then gently slide it into the simmering water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk. Repeat for additional eggs if needed.
  4. Assemble the dish: Spoon the oatmeal into a bowl and top it with the sautéed mushrooms. Carefully place the poached egg on top and season with a bit more salt and pepper.
  5. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley, grated Parmesan cheese, or chili flakes, if desired.

Notes

[‘Use broth instead of water for added flavor.’, ‘Stir oats occasionally to release starches for a creamy texture.’, ‘Keep water at a gentle simmer for perfectly poached eggs.’, ‘Customize toppings with herbs, spices, or sauces.’]
