Oatmeal and Eggs

Oatmeal and Eggs

With the weather turning a little cooler, a hot bowl of oatmeal is a great way to start off the day.  Add some milk and honey, top off with a fried egg, and a simple breakfast gets a lift.  If you have the time, get your hands on local honey; the depth of flavor is incomparable to your grocery store variety and unique to your community.

 

Ingredients

1c rolled oats

1c water

1c goat milk

2Tbsp honey

1tsp salt

4 eggs

½ Tbsp butter

1 Roma tomato, sliced 

Directions

Serves 2

Add water, milk and honey in a saucepan over medium heat.  Add salt and oats to warm liquid and bring to a simmer.  Let cook for 5-7 minutes stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

While the oatmeal is cooking, add butter to a hot skillet.  Once the butter is melted, crack the eggs directly into the skillet giving each yolk as much room as possible.  (In an 18”skillet we can fit four eggs; any smaller than that and it would be best to cook in batches.)  Cook the eggs for 2-3 minutes for a runny yolk, or longer depending on your preference. 

Spoon the oatmeal into a bowl.  Top each bowl with two eggs and two slices of tomato.
