### Why You’ll Love This Oatmeal Egg Breakfast
### Ingredients for Quick and Healthy Oatmeal Egg Breakfast
– **1/2 cup rolled oats**
– **1 cup water or milk** (for a creamier texture, use milk or a dairy-free alternative like almond milk)
– **1 large egg**
– **1/4 tsp salt**
– **1/4 tsp black pepper**
– **1/4 tsp garlic powder** (optional, for extra flavor)
– **Fresh herbs or toppings of your choice** (optional, such as chives, parsley, grated cheese, or avocado)
#### 1. **Cook the Oats**:
– Start by bringing **1 cup of water** (or milk) to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat.
– Once the liquid is heated, add the **1/2 cup of rolled oats** and stir. Let the oats cook for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats have absorbed the liquid and become creamy.
– If you prefer your oatmeal thicker, you can cook it for a little longer or add more oats.
3. **Combine the Oatmeal and Egg**:
– Once the oats are ready, transfer them to a bowl.
– Top the oatmeal with the cooked egg. If you scrambled the egg, simply mix it in with the oats for an even distribution. If you left the egg sunny-side-up, place it gently on top for a visually appealing presentation.
