OATMEAL VEGETABLE PORRIDGE
When sugar and milk became my enemies I created this oatmeal dish. I love oatmeal. I absolutely love this. Also, I needed to add vegetables to my diet. Even though I have given a specific recipe it will vary depending on what I have on hand. This is the first time I've used cilantro and it really adds. I personally sprinkle cayenne and garlic salt to the finished dish. Gary

CREAMY PARMESAN OATS WITH FRIED EGG
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.

Steps:
- 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.
Tips:
- Use the right type of oats: Steel-cut oats are the best choice for a hearty and chewy porridge, while rolled oats will give you a creamier texture.
- Cook your oats in milk or water (or a combination of both): This will give your porridge a richer flavor and creamier texture than using water alone.
- Add a pinch of salt to the cooking liquid: This will help to enhance the flavor of the oats, even if you're using sweet toppings.
- Don't overcook your oats: Oats should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooked oats will be mushy and bland.
- Get creative with your toppings: Oatmeal porridge is a blank canvas for toppings. Try adding fresh or dried fruits, nuts, seeds, spices, or even a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
Conclusion:
Oatmeal porridge is a delicious and nutritious breakfast that can be enjoyed all year round. With so many different ways to make it, there's sure to be a recipe that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast, give oatmeal porridge a try!
