Steps

You’ll need: medium saucepan, nonstick skillet, spatula, food thermometer (optional).

  1. Bring the milk, water and salt just to a simmer in the saucepan. Stir in the oats and cinnamon and cook over medium-low heat 5 minutes, stirring now and then, until thick and creamy.
  2. While the oats cook, melt the butter in the skillet over medium heat. Crack in the eggs and cook them the way your family likes (fried, scrambled or over easy) until the whites and yolks are firm. Scrambled eggs and egg dishes are done at 160Β°F (USDA).
  3. Spoon the oatmeal into bowls, top with the berries and a drizzle of honey if you like, and serve the eggs alongside with a little pepper.

🌑 Safe temperaturesEgg dishes 160°F. Check the thickest part with a food thermometer (USDA). More on food safety.
