Ingredients
- • rolled oats: 1 cup
- • water: 2 cups
- • salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- • eggs: 2
- • apple cider vinegar: 1 tablespoon
- • za'atar spice blend: 1 tablespoon
- • plain Greek yogurt: 1/2 cup
- • fresh parsley, chopped: 2 tablespoons
- • fresh mint, chopped: 2 tablespoons
- • extra virgin olive oil: 1 tablespoon
- • cherry tomatoes, halved: 1/2 cup
- • cucumber, diced: 1/2 cup
- • black pepper: to taste
Instructions
- 1 In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are creamy and tender.
- 2 While the oats are cooking, heat a small pot of water until it reaches a gentle simmer. Add the apple cider vinegar. Crack each egg into a small bowl and gently slide them into the simmering water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- 3 In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with the chopped parsley, mint, and a pinch of black pepper. Stir until everything is well combined and set aside.
- 4 Divide the cooked oatmeal into two bowls. Top each with a poached egg, a drizzle of olive oil, and a generous sprinkle of za'atar. Add the cherry tomatoes and cucumber around the edges of the bowl.
- 5 Spoon the herbed yogurt over the top and finish with an extra dash of za'atar and black pepper for enhanced flavor.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Savory Oatmeal is perfectly balanced on its own, but you can pair it with a side of mixed greens dressed in lemon juice and olive oil for an extra dose of freshness. Consider a small bowl of fresh fruit, like berries or sliced kiwi, to complete the meal with a touch of natural sweetness. For beverages, a cup of green tea or a refreshing glass of freshly squeezed orange juice will complement the savory notes beautifully, while providing additional antioxidants and vitamin C.
Storage Tips
If you have leftovers, store the oatmeal and poached eggs separately in airtight containers. The oatmeal can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated on the stove with a splash of water or milk to maintain its creaminess. The poached eggs are best consumed fresh, but if needed, they can be quickly reheated in hot water. The herbed yogurt can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days as well.
