Food & Cooking Recipes Breakfast & Brunch Recipes Creamy Parmesan Oats with Fried Egg Close Credit: Ngoc Minh Ngo Prep Time: 25 mins Total Time: 30 mins Servings: 2 Savory oatmeal for the win! Instead of the usual brown sugar, team Parmesan and sunny-side-up eggs with Peppadew peppers and watercress for an Italian-inspired porridge. A squeeze of lemon before serving brightens up all the flavors. Directions In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups water to a boil. Add oats, garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in cheese; cover to keep warm. Heat oil in a medium nonstick pan over medium. Add eggs and cook until whites are set and yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add water to oatmeal as necessary until creamy. Divide between two bowls; top with eggs, peppers, and watercress. Squeeze lemon wedges over top, drizzle with oil, sprinkle with cheese, and serve.
