Garlic Oats with Fried Egg

This is definitely our favorite go to breakfast when we don’t have the time to make something elaborate. Cook the instant oats with garlic and olive oil and top it with a fried egg and you have a breakfast that’s high in fiber and protein. Plus, that runny yolk mixes with oats and creates the creamiest breakfast combination.

Ingredients

For the Oats:

1 teaspoon Oil
2-3 Garlic cloves minced
1 cup Quick cooking Oats
2 cups Water
¼ cup Mild Cheddar grated
2 teaspoons Basil chopped

For the eggs:

1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 Eggs
½ teaspoon Paprika / Chili Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

Heat a teaspoon of oil in a pan and add minced garlic. Sauté the garlic for 15 seconds and add oats. Stir the oats for a few seconds and add all the water, salt and pepper.
Bring this to a quick boil, and simmer for 3-4 minutes, by which time, the mixture would have thickened up into a porridge like consistency and the oats will be cooked. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if required. Just before taking oats off the stove, add cheese and basil and mix.
In a non-stick pan, add olive oil and fry the eggs one by one. Top each egg with salt and paprika or chilli powder.
To serve, divide the oats equally into two bowls. Top each bowl with a fried egg, sprinkle with more paprika and chopped coriander.

Notes

This is a very quick recipe. Do not prepare it and store it for later as oatmeal can very easily become dry and gluggy.
I've topped mine with fried eggs, you can top it with eggs the way you like it - scrambled, poached or serve it alongside a simple omelette.
