Allergens

Milk
Eggs
Celery

Nearly every stock cube and pot lists celery. Home-made stock without it carries no flag.

Flags follow UK labelling rules and come from the ingredients as listed, not from any particular brand. Check the packet before cooking for somebody with an allergy.

Ingredients

Gluten-free oats50 g
Dry weight. Certified, which is the only thing that separates them from ordinary oats in the numbers.
Chicken stock300 ml
Made up from a cube or a pot.
Leek60 g, sliced thin
Reduced-fat cheddar30 g
Egg1 large, about 55 g
Olive oil spray3 sprays
Counted at a quarter of a gram per spray, which is what the nozzle on most bottles delivers. Four sprays is 9 kcal.
Black pepperPlenty

Method

Soften the leek in a sprayed pan over a medium heat for four minutes until it collapses.
Add the oats and the stock and simmer for five to six minutes, stirring, until thick.
Off the heat, stir in the cheddar until it melts. Wipe the pan and fry the egg in it with another spray.
Egg on top, a lot of black pepper.

Worth knowing

Stock instead of milk and it tastes like a leek risotto that took six minutes. A stock cube is fine; the celery flag comes from the stock.
Reduced-fat cheddar melts less smoothly than full-fat, but at 30 g the difference is 45 kcal, which is a fair trade in a bowl this size.
