What do you think about custard oatmeal? (Adding an egg to your oats)
I’m looking to increase my protein intake, but I’m not the biggest fan of eggs, which makes my breakfast options feel pretty limited. I stumbled upon a recipe where you stir an egg into your oats just before they’re fully cooked, and it’s meant to be a sweet dish—not savory.

I’m intrigued, but I’m worried about it tasting too much like egg, and I don’t want to waste any food if it doesn’t turn out well. If you also experience the dislike for eggs and have tried this, I’d love to hear your thoughts! Plus, any tips on how to do it right would be greatly appreciated!

    Custard oatmeal is definitely an interesting way to boost the protein content of your breakfast without having to eat plain eggs! Adding an egg to your oats can give them a creamy texture and a more custardy flavor, making it feel like a treat rather than just a regular bowl of oatmeal.

    Here are a few tips to help you get started and minimize any potential eggy taste:

    1. Use Vanilla Extract: Adding a splash of vanilla extract can help mask any egg flavor and make your oatmeal taste sweeter and more dessert-like.

    2. Sweeten it Up: Consider adding sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or brown sugar to enhance the flavor and distract from any egginess.

    3. Cook it Well: Make sure to stir the egg in thoroughly and cook it long enough after adding to ensure it’s fully integrated and cooked through. This decreases the likelihood of it having an eggy taste.

    4. Try Milk or Alternative Milk: Cooking your oats in milk (or a dairy-free alternative) instead of water can also help make the dish creamier and more enjoyable.

    5. Add Flavorful Toppings: After cooking, top your custard oatmeal with fruits, nuts, or a dollop of yogurt. The toppings can add flavors that overpower any slight egg taste.

    If you’re really worried about it tasting too eggy, you might try using just half an egg or even egg whites, which can be milder. Overall, many people enjoy custard oatmeal, saying that the egg flavor is quite subtle when prepared right. It’s definitely worth a try—experiment a little and see how you like it!
