Fried Oatmeal with Egg

For this recipe, you will need oatmeal flakes and a large egg. That's it! No vegetable or butter oil, water, milk, etc. There is no need to cook anything. If you want to add some variety to the taste, you can add berries or fruits, or drizzle the oatmeal with honey or jam. So, let's start preparing fried oatmeal with egg for breakfast. You will need a good non-stick frying pan, which should be heated over low heat. Sprinkle the oatmeal flakes onto the DRY pan (preferably flakes that have a cooking time of 5-7 minutes indicated on the package).

Stir the flakes occasionally and fry them for three minutes. No need to add oil or water.

When you smell a pleasant nutty aroma and see that the oatmeal has slightly browned, you can add the egg.

At this stage, you need to vigorously mix the flakes with the egg using a wooden spatula, so that it evenly spreads across the pan.

Next, cover the pan with a lid, keep it on low heat for 1 minute, then turn off the heat and let it sit for another 1 minute to make the oatmeal softer. Your oatmeal with egg breakfast is ready!

Now it remains to transfer it to a plate and add fillings as desired.

I tried to pour honey, jam, add banana, cottage cheese, dried fruits, and nuts. All options are great. If you want a non-sweet version, add a pinch of salt with the egg. And before covering the oatmeal with a lid, you can put a few slices of hard cheese on top. If you want to increase the energy value of the finished dish, you can add an additional egg white to the whole egg.
