Gather Your Ingredients
To make this magic happen, you’ll need:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk (feel free to experiment with different types)
- 2 egg yolks (or 1 whole egg, if you don’t mind a slightly different texture)
- A pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- A sprinkle of cinnamon to taste
- Your choice of mix-ins: raisins, chocolate chips, Baileys, or anything else your heart desires
The Cooking Process
Step 1: Beat Those Egg Yolks
Add egg yolks to milk and beat until they’re fully incorporated. Don’t be afraid to give it a few extra turns – you want that milk to be smooth and yellow.
Step 2: Add Flavor and Oatmeal
Toss in salt, sugar, and cinnamon, then pour the mixture into a large, cold non-stick frying pan. Add oatmeal and stir until everything is well coated.
Step 3: Heat and Serve
Turn the heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture starts to thicken and bubble. Cover, remove from heat, and let it finish cooking for a minute or two. Serve hot, topped with your choice of goodies: milk, brown sugar, chocolate chips, or even a splash of Baileys.
