Savory Steel Cut Oats
This Savory Steel Cut Oatmeal Bowl for breakfast is loaded with protein and provides a good dose of fiber, both of which will keep you feeling satisfied longer.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup quick cooking steel cut oats (such as Bob’s Red Mill)
- Olive oil spray
- 2 ounces raw chicken breakfast sausage (I used Trader Joe’s)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons unsalted butter
- 4 medium baby bella mushrooms (chopped)
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (divided)
- 1 large egg
- Chopped fresh chives (for garnish (optional))
Instructions
- In a medium sized, deep microwave-safe bowl, add oats and water and cook according to package directions, about 7 to 10 minutes. You may need to adjust cook time and/or add extra water to reach your desired consistency. (I used about 2/3 cup water for creamy oats).
- Meanwhile, spray a medium skillet with oil.
- Remove the sausage from the casing, add to the skillet and cook over medium heat, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until just cooked through (don’t overcook or it will become rubbery).
- Remove sausage from skillet and place in a serving bowl, cover and set aside while you cook the mushrooms.
- Add 1 teaspoon butter to the skillet. When melted, add the mushrooms, a pinch of salt and pepper, to taste. Sauté mushrooms for 4 minutes.
- Add the sausage back to the skillet, stir to combine and cook 30 seconds.
- Transfer cooked oats to a bowl, add remaining half teaspoon butter, a pinch of salt and 1 tablespoon Parmesan and stir.
- Top with mushroom and sausage mixture. Cook the egg runny, or to your likie and top the bowl.
- Add the remaining tablespoon Parmesan cheese and chives, if using.
Notes
- Vegetarian: Omit the sausage
- Dairy Free: Omit the parmesan cheese
- Egg Free: Omit the egg, there's still plenty of protein
