This is an ode to my dad. He is one of my food heroes. He taught me to cook from a very early age. Since I can remember my dad would make this porridge for breakfast and up to this day he still makes it for himself 2 or 3 times a week. For me this is a hug in a bowl and I love it still. This is my take on my dad’s savoury oats. Enjoy playing with the recipe and adding your own twist to it.
Ingredients
- 50g Oats
- 150 ml Water
- pinch of salt
- 1 Egg
- 1 tbs Butter
- Salt and freshly Ground Blackpepper
- 2 tsp Parmesan cheese or cheddar cheese, grated
- Tomato Sauce (optional)
Method
- Cook the oats in the water with salt until ready. It should take about 3 – 5 minutes. I taste it to see if it is ready to my liking.
- Meanwhile fry the egg on medium heat in the butter and season with salt and pepper. The yolk must still be runny and the white cooked.
- Spoon the oats in your bowl.
- Place the egg on top and drizzle with the butter from the pan.
- If you are using tomato sauce drizzle some over.
- Add the grated parmesan or cheddar cheese
- Enjoy!
P.s. I love to take a fork and knife and chop up the egg with the porridge after I have added everything and then stir it through before taking my bowl and fork and sit in a sunny corner of my sofa enjoying this and thinking of my dad.
