An (Unexpectedly) Yummy Breakfast
It was a breakfast showdown this morning between oatmeal and cinnamon rolls … ah, just kidding QT! No, between oatmeal and an egg white sandwich (it is miserably damp, windy and cold here … perfect for oatmeal, but the egg protein was calling me). Then I remembered an egg white oatmeal recipe I’d read some where. At the time, it had sounded disgusting, but I thought what the heck.
I made oatmeal with milk according to the directions. When the oatmeal was done, I left the heat on medium-low and slowly added two egg whites, stirring constantly (I didn’t use a whisk, but will try that next time) and let it cook until I could see the whites turning … well, white.
It was yummy … rich and creamy (I was worried the egg might make it rubbery). I didn’t try it plain, but imagine it does require some toppings. I added brown sugar and walnuts (I normally add some sort of “butter” spread, but forgot and didn’t even miss it with the richness of the egg). Also, I may not need to eat again today. Take that QT!
P.S. I recommend eating this quickly while it’s still hot. I wrote this post while noshing and near the bottom, it became much less appealing.
