Custard Oatmeal Creamy Bowl (Print-Friendly Format)

Enjoy a warm, creamy bowl scented with vanilla for a delectable and filling morning meal.

# Required Ingredients:

→ Oatmeal Base

01 - 50 g quick-cooking rolled oats
02 - 120 ml water
03 - 1 pinch fine sea salt

→ Custard Enrichment

04 - 1 large egg, whisked
05 - 80 ml cold water

→ Aromatics

06 - 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or pure vanilla extract (optional)

# How to Make It:

01 - Combine quick-cooking rolled oats, 120 ml water, and a pinch of salt in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Stir continuously until the mixture becomes thick, creamy, and most of the water has evaporated.
02 - Lower the heat to low. Add 80 ml very cold water and the whisked egg to the pot. Whisk vigorously to fully incorporate, ensuring a smooth, custard-like consistency without curdling the egg.
03 - Remove the pot from heat. Stir in vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract, if using, until evenly distributed.
04 - Transfer the custard oatmeal to a serving bowl. Add desired fruits, seeds, or preferred toppings before serving.

# Additional Information:

01 - For best results, use quick-cooking oats. If using regular rolled oats, increase the water slightly to compensate for longer cooking time and firmer texture.
02 - Adding the egg with very cold water helps prevent it from scrambling and ensures a smooth custard base.
