Savory High-Protein Oatmeal with Eggs & Melted Cheese
Method
Place the rolled oats into a deep bowl. Pour enough boiling water over the oats to cover them by about 1 cm (½ inch). Lay the cheese on top of the hot oats, cover the bowl with a plate, and let it sit for 5–7 minutes until the oats become tender and the cheese melts into a creamy consistency.
While the oats are resting, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook them covered for 4–5 minutes, until the whites are fully set but the yolks remain soft and runny. If you prefer firmer yolks, cook them for an additional minute.
Season the oatmeal with salt and freshly ground black pepper, stirring gently so the melted cheese is evenly distributed.
Carefully place the fried eggs on top of the creamy oatmeal.
Finish with chopped herbs, freshly ground black pepper, or a pinch of chili flakes, and serve immediately while the yolks are still warm and silky.
For an even more satisfying Mediterranean-inspired breakfast, stir a handful of sautéed spinach or mushrooms into the oatmeal before serving. Fresh avocado slices, roasted tomatoes, or a sprinkle of Parmesan also make excellent additions while keeping the meal rich in protein and flavor.
