Feast Your Eyes: Creme brulee oatmeal

by Marisa McClellan, Posted Aug 14th 2008 @ 8:00AM

I love oatmeal. I eat it for breakfast nearly every morning. Sometimes I make a big pot of steel cut oats at the beginning of the week and heat up a bit every day. More often, I measure out half a cup of rolled oats into a small pot just before I go to bed and let them soak in a cup of water. When I wake up, I stumble into the kitchen, add a little cinnamon, a pinch of salt and a handful of raisins and bring the whole mess to a boil. After a few minutes of energetic boiling, I put the lid on and turn off the heat. When I come back from taking a shower and getting dressed, I top it with a few walnuts and a splash of whole milk. It keeps me full until lunch time and is so satisfying/soothing/delicious.

A wonderful as my oatmeal routine is, sometimes it gets just a little tedious. That's why I particularly love the idea of creme brulee oatmeal. What an amazing way to spice up your regular old oats! Big thanks to Allen for figuring this one out and adding the image to the Slashfood Flickr pool!

Could sure use a recipe here -- I take it you just don't dump sugar on top and set it in the broiler...
