Savory Garlic Parmesan Oatmeal with Mushrooms
This Savory Garlic Parmesan Oatmeal with Mushrooms is a super flavorful and filling breakfast that comes together with ease!
Ingredients
- 2 cups reduced sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup uncooked old fashioned/rolled oats
- 1 oz Parmesan cheese freshly shredded
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon light butter (I use Land O’Lakes light butter with canola oil in the tub)
- 8 oz sliced white mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley OR 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
- ¼ teaspoon dried parsley flakes
- 2 garlic cloves minced
Instructions
- Place the broth and oats into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over med-high heat*, stirring occasionally. Once bubbling reduce the heat to med-low to simmer for 4-5 minutes or until the water is mostly absorbed, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. If it gets a little to thick, add a tablespoon or two of water and stir it in. When finished, remove from heat and stir in the ¼ teaspoons of salt and pepper and the shredded Parmesan cheese until well combined.
- *At the same time you’re starting step one, bring the butter over medium-high heat in a large skillet until melted. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-6 minutes until the mushrooms are softened and golden around the edges. Sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper to taste and add the parsley, thyme, and garlic. Stir together and allow to cook for another 30-60 seconds until the garlic is fragrant. Remove from heat
- Stir the garlic herb mushrooms from step two into the pot of Parmesan oatmeal from step one and serve (I reserved a few mushrooms to place on top for photo purposes, but when I am not photographing it’s easier to just stir it all together). This recipe makes two 1 & ½ cup servings (a scant cup of oatmeal + a generous ½ cup of mushrooms).
