Transform your breakfast with this Savory Oatmeal featuring crispy bacon and a perfectly cooked egg. It is a hearty, flavorful departure from sweet oatmeal that you will want to make often.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 cups water or broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 2 large eggs
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: chopped chives, grated cheese

Instructions

  1. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon, reserving about 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat in the pan. Set the cooked bacon aside.
  2. Add the rolled oats, water or broth, and salt to a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the oats are thick and creamy, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. While the oatmeal cooks, cook the eggs in the reserved bacon fat in the skillet. You can fry them sunny-side up or over easy, based on your preference for a runny yolk.
  4. Divide the cooked oatmeal between two bowls.
  5. Top each bowl with a fried egg and crumbled bacon pieces.
  6. Season with black pepper and any desired optional toppings like chives or cheese.

Notes

  • Using broth instead of water adds a deeper savory flavor to the oatmeal base.
  • A runny egg yolk acts as a natural, rich sauce for the oatmeal.
  • Cook the oats slightly firmer than you would for sweet oatmeal, as they will soften more with the toppings.
