Custard Oatmeal

• servings: 2 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

1 cup water

1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 cup cold whole or 2% milk

2 large eggs

Topping options: chopped nuts, berries, coconut flakes, maple syrup

Directions

Step 1

Bring 1 cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the oats are tender and the water is completely absorbed, 3 to 4 minutes.

Step 2

Whisk in 1/2 cup cold whole milk. Add 2 large eggs to the now-empty measuring cup and beat until no white streaks remain. Whisk the beaten eggs into the oatmeal, and cook, whisking occasionally, until thickened and creamy, 3 to 5 minutes (do not let it come to a boil). Serve with toppings if desired.
