Savoury Oatmeal Bowl
Complete with a fried egg, veggies and a crumble of feta cheese, this savoury oatmeal bowl is a hearty and healthy breakfast idea that is ready in under 10 minutes!
If you’ve never tried savoury oatmeal before, now is the time. At first glance, the idea of savoury oatmeal may seem strange but oats are simply a grain and can, therefore, take on any flavour profile you like. Although they are more commonly paired with fruits and berries as a sweet dish, oats work very well as a savoury dish too. The key to savoury oatmeal is to cook the oats themselves in water or broth as opposed to milk to help them retain their savoury profile. Once cooked, you can truly top them with an egg, meat and/or vegetable combination you like, and can easily create a high-protein breakfast without much effort.
This particular savoury oatmeal recipe calls for a fried egg, however, a poached egg would work just as well, and if you’re not a fan of kale, tomatoes or feta cheese feel free to swap them for any vegetable or toppings you like!

Ingredients
Savoury Oatmeal Bowl
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup water
- 1 egg, add more if needed
- 1 cup kale or spinach, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 pinch crushed chilies (optional)
- 1 oz. crumbly cheese, feta or goat
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- Sea salt
- Black Pepper
Additional Optional Toppings:
- Hot sauce
- Green Onion, chopped
- Cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine oats, water, and a pinch of sea salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook on low heat for 5-8 minutes, stirring frequently, until all of the liquid has been absorbed and oats are tender.
- In a large frying pan, heat olive oil on medium-high heat. On one side of the pan, crack egg and allow to fry and cook to your liking. On the other side of the pan, add kale, cherry tomatoes, crushed chilies (optional), and a pinch of salt and pepper and allow to cook along with the eggs until kale is tender and cherry tomatoes can easily be broken by the touch.
- Once the oats are cooked, transfer them a bowl and top with the cooked kale, cherry tomatoes and fried egg. Sprinkle with feta cheese, salt, pepper, and additional toppings of your liking to serve.
