Allergens

  • Gluten
  • Milk
  • Eggs
  • Oats count as a gluten cereal under UK labelling and ordinary oats are milled alongside wheat. Certified gluten-free oats are a separate ingredient here.

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.

Method

  1. Cook the oats in water or stock with a good pinch of salt until thick, about five minutes.

  2. Wilt the spinach in a sprayed pan, then stir it through the oats with the parmesan.

  3. Fry or poach the egg and set it on top, breaking the yolk into the oats as you eat.

Worth knowing

  • Savoury oats sound wrong and eat like risotto. The salt is doing most of the work.
  • Cooked in water rather than milk, which is where a third of the calories in a sweet bowl usually sit.
