Full Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup instant oatmeal
  Provides a good amount of fiber and is quick to cook.
• 2 eggs
  Rich in protein, adding texture and flavor to the dish.
• Salt and pepper to taste
  For seasoning.
• 1 glass of warm milk
  This helps create a creamy consistency in the oatmeal.
• Some parsley
  Chopped parsley for freshness and flavor.
• Chili flakes (optional)
  If you like a little heat in your dish.
• 100 grams of cheese
  Cheddar, mozzarella, or any cheese of your choice for extra richness and flavor.

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Oatmeal

• In a saucepan, heat 1 glass of warm milk over medium heat.
• Add 1 cup of instant oatmeal to the warm milk, stirring constantly. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the oatmeal has absorbed the milk and becomes soft and creamy.

2. Whisk the Eggs

• In a small bowl, crack 2 eggs and whisk them lightly with a fork.
• Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.

3. Combine the Eggs with Oatmeal

• Once the oatmeal is ready and has absorbed most of the milk, slowly pour the whisked eggs into the oatmeal mixture.
• Stir the mixture constantly over low heat for 2-3 minutes until the eggs are fully cooked and combined with the oatmeal. This will give the dish a creamy, scrambled-egg texture.

4. Add the Cheese

• Grate or crumble 100 grams of cheese and mix it into the oatmeal and egg mixture. Stir until the cheese is melted and well incorporated, making the dish creamy and flavorful.

5. Add Seasonings and Garnish

• Add salt and pepper to taste, and sprinkle some chili flakes if you want a little spice.
• Finally, stir in some freshly chopped parsley to add a burst of freshness and color to the dish.

6. Serve and Enjoy

• Transfer the oatmeal-egg mixture to a bowl or plate and enjoy it warm. You can also serve it with some crusty bread or fresh vegetables for a more complete meal.

Cooking Tips:

• Oatmeal: If you prefer a creamier texture, you can add a little more milk or cook the oatmeal for a bit longer. You can also experiment with different types of oats, such as rolled oats or steel-cut oats, for a heartier texture.
• Cheese: Feel free to use any cheese you like! Cheddar, mozzarella, or even feta cheese can work well in this recipe.
• Eggs: You can scramble the eggs separately and add them to the oatmeal at the end for a more layered texture, or mix them directly into the oatmeal as described for a more cohesive dish.
• Spices: Play around with the spices by adding herbs like oregano, thyme, or even cumin to give the dish more depth and flavor.

FAQs:

1. Can I use water instead of milk for cooking the oatmeal?
Yes, you can use water instead of milk, but using milk gives the dish a creamier texture and richer flavor. For a dairy-free option, you can use plant-based milk such as almond or oat milk.

2. Can I add vegetables to this recipe?
Absolutely! You can add diced tomatoes, spinach, or sautéed mushrooms for extra nutrition and flavor.

3. What kind of cheese works best for this recipe?
Cheddar, mozzarella, or any cheese that melts well is a good choice. You can also try using parmesan or feta for a different flavor.

4. Can I make this dish ahead of time?
It’s best served fresh, but you can make the oatmeal base ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, reheat and add fresh eggs, cheese, and seasonings.

5. Is this recipe suitable for a low-carb diet?
Oatmeal is a source of carbohydrates, so it’s not low-carb. However, you can modify the recipe by reducing the amount of oats or replacing them with a lower-carb alternative like cauliflower rice.
