What do you think about custard oatmeal? (Adding an egg to your oats)

I’m looking to boost my protein intake, but I’m not really an egg person, which makes my breakfast choices feel limited. I found a recipe that suggests stirring an egg into your oats just before they’re fully cooked. Just to clarify, this is for sweet oatmeal, not savory!

I’m curious to try it, but I’m worried it might end up tasting too much like eggs, and I don’t want to waste any ingredients. If you’re also not a fan of eggs but have given this a shot, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Any tips to help make it delicious would also be greatly appreciated!

    Custard oatmeal is actually a great way to add protein without the strong egg flavor that can come from traditional egg dishes. When you stir in an egg toward the end of cooking your oats, it creates a creamy texture and a subtle richness, especially when paired with sweet flavors like cinnamon, vanilla, or fruit.

    Here are a few tips to make it taste great while minimizing any potential eggy flavor:

    1. Add Flavors: Use vanilla extract, cinnamon, or a bit of maple syrup to further mask any egginess. Adding mashed bananas or applesauce can also enhance the sweetness and flavor.

    2. Mix Well: Make sure to whisk the egg and stir it in thoroughly. This helps to evenly distribute the egg throughout the oatmeal, creating a consistent texture.

    3. Cook Properly: Ensure that the oats are cooked well before adding the egg. This way, you can let the mixture sit on the heat just long enough for the egg to cook without scrambling.

    4. Experiment with Toppings: Adding toppings like nuts, seeds, or yogurt can help shift the focus away from the egg flavor and give you some added texture and nutrition.

    5. Test with Small Portions: If you’re unsure, try a small batch first. That way, you won’t waste too much if it’s not to your liking.

    Many people who are sensitive to egg flavors have enjoyed custard oatmeal, so it’s worth a try! You might find it to be a delicious and protein-packed breakfast option. Let us know how it goes!
