Ingredients

2 cups Quaker® Oats-Old Fashioned
2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 small yellow onion finely chopped (about cup)
1 8 oz package baby portobello mushrooms sliced
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 garlic cloves minced
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
2 cups fresh spinach leaves
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 large eggs optional

Cooking Instructions

In a large Dutch oven or a deep sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until just beginning to soften, about 2 minutes.
Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 8 minutes.
Add the salt and pepper; stir.
Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds.
Add the oats and stir until toasted and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add the chicken broth along with 2 cups water and the thyme and bring the pan to a simmer. Let the oats cook, stirring often, until they have absorbed almost all of the liquid, about 12 minutes.
Stir in the spinach, 1 cup at a time, and allow it to wilt into the thickened oatmeal.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve each portion topped with 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese and additional fresh thyme, if desired.
Optional, for a heartier meal: Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking oil and set it over medium-high heat.
Once hot, add the eggs and cook until the whites are opaque and the yolk is set but still runny (or to your desired doneness), 6 to 8 minutes.
Serve 1 fried egg on top of each oatmeal portion.
