Yaayy, You Will Not Regret It

In fact, testimonial: I first learned the egg-in-oatmeal thing when I was living in Boston in 2012, and when I moved out of that apartment I left one of my roommates this little turquoise pot that we used to cook custard oats in as a going away present. This past New Years I visited her in Seattle, and what was in her sink? The little turquoise pot, that she’d used to make custard oats just that morning.

For several years oatmeal was a pretty regular player in my breakfast rotation, and then for several years it was not. But this latest one I’ve been making….this might be what brings oats back.

Custard Oatmeal with Maple Browned Butter

CUSTARD OATMEAL
⅓ cup old fashioned rolled oats
⅔ cup water or milk (I usually use a mix, or mostly water with a splash of the half ‘n half I always have around)
1 egg

Combine oats, water/milk, and a sprinkling of salt in a small pot. Set over medium heat and let it start bubbling and becoming oatmeal, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, crack an egg into your ⅓ cup measurer so you’re ready to go.

When the oats are done to your liking (usually around 5 min), plop that egg in there and stir as quickly and evenly as you can, aiming to get it all incorporated before the egg starts to set. Keep stirring continuously over medium heat for about another minute, until you have this mild, oaty custard pudding. With protein.

Put in a bowl, and top with:

MAPLE BROWNED BUTTER
1 stick butter*
maple syrup

*This will make plenty, and will you regret it? You will not. Store in the fridge and reheat as needed for a week & more’s worth of cereal topping or whatever, just ready to go.

Place a stick of butter in a small pot and melt over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it starts to brown and smell toasty and phenomenal. Pour into a jar, making sure to scrape up all the browned bits on the bottom with a spatula. At this point you can add maple syrup to your sweetness liking, or just leave them separate and combine on top of your oats on the day.
