Healthy Spinach and Mozzarella Oatmeal
Ingredients:
- 1 cup oatmeal (rolled oats)
- A handful of chives (finely chopped)
- 1 cup spinach (chopped)
- 50g mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 2 eggs
- Salt (to taste)
- Dry garlic (to taste)
- 5 tbsp yogurt (preferably plain or Greek yogurt)
Instructions:
- Cook the Oatmeal: Start by cooking the oatmeal according to the package instructions. Typically, you’ll combine 1 cup of oats with 2 cups of water or milk (or a combination of both) in a pot. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and creamy (about 5 minutes).
- Prepare the Spinach: While the oatmeal is cooking, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add a tiny bit of oil or water to sauté the spinach. Cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Set aside.
- Cook the Eggs: In the same skillet, crack the 2 eggs and scramble them over medium heat. Season with a pinch of salt and a sprinkle of dry garlic. Once scrambled and fully cooked, set the eggs aside.
- Combine Ingredients: Once the oatmeal is cooked, stir in the sautéed spinach, scrambled eggs, chopped chives, and shredded mozzarella cheese. The cheese will melt into the warm oatmeal, creating a deliciously creamy texture.
- Season: Add salt to taste and dry garlic for extra flavor. Stir everything together until the cheese is fully melted and the oats are evenly coated.
- Finish with Yogurt: Serve the oatmeal in bowls and top each portion with a dollop of yogurt. The yogurt adds a creamy, tangy element that balances the savory flavors.
Serve and Enjoy! This healthy, hearty dish makes a great breakfast or lunch, and it’s full of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. You’ll love how the mozzarella melts into the oats and the spinach brings in a fresh, nutrient-packed boost.
Perfect for a clean-eating meal that the whole family can enjoy together!
