Description
A simple, savory, and high-protein breakfast recipe using oats, broth, spinach, and optional egg.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 small shallot, minced (about 1/2 cup)
- 1/2 cup (40 grams) old-fashioned oats
- 1 1/2 cups (350 ml) vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1 generous cup baby spinach leaves
- 1 tablespoon (14 grams) butter, optional
- 1 tablespoon (15 grams) white miso paste, optional
- Sriracha, for serving, optional
- 1 7-minute egg, optional
Instructions
- Place shallot, oats, broth, soy sauce, and spinach in a small pot.
- Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce heat to simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, until oats have softened into a porridge.
- Off the heat, stir in butter and miso paste.
- Transfer to a bowl and top with a drizzle of sriracha and a boiled egg if you like.
Notes
- Use old-fashioned rolled oats for a heartier texture that keeps you full longer.
- You can swap in other quick-cooking vegetables like baby arugula, frozen peas, or corn.
- Layer in pre-cooked vegetables like crispy roasted broccolini or sautéed mushrooms.
- Add cheese, like shredded extra-sharp cheddar or grated parmesan, or more protein like shredded chicken.
- If you need to make this ahead, reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop with extra broth.
- Leftovers keep well in an airtight container in the fridge for a week.
