Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup oats
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Cook the oats: In a medium saucepan, bring the milk to a gentle boil over medium heat. Add the oats and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and have absorbed most of the milk, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Prepare egg mixture: While the oats cook, beat the egg with the sugar in a small bowl until well combined.
- Incorporate egg mixture: Gradually stir about a half cup of the hot oatmeal into the egg mixture to temper the eggs, preventing curdling. Then slowly pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the oats, stirring continuously.
- Finish cooking the custard oatmeal: Continue cooking over low heat for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring continuously, until the mixture is thickened and creamy. Do not let it boil.
- Serve warm: Remove from heat and serve immediately for a warm, creamy breakfast treat.
Notes
- Tempering the egg mixture is essential to avoid scrambling the eggs.
- You may substitute milk with a plant-based milk alternative for a dairy-free version.
- Add cinnamon or vanilla extract for extra flavor.
- Top with fresh fruits or nuts to enhance texture and nutrition.
