If you ask me, I’ll take savory oatmeal over sweet oatmeal any day, ten times over, actually. Breakfast should fuel your day, not just be a sugar rush. For me, a real boost comes from fiber and protein, setting you up for the morning and keeping hunger in check. Here, I kept it simple: rolled oats cooked in boiling water with just a touch of salt. Since we’re going savory, I loaded it up with my favorite breakfast staples—roasted cherry tomatoes, a perfectly soft-boiled egg, briny olives, a sprinkle of za’atar, and a dash of salt and pepper. It’s hearty, satisfying, and exactly the kind of breakfast that powers me through the day.

Lets Start Cooking!

step 1

For the roasted cherry tomatoes, place the halved tomatoes on a parchment-lined baking tray. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, then season with oregano, salt, and black pepper.

step 2

Broil on medium for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside.

step 3

For the oats, bring water and salt to a boil, then add the oats and cook over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.

step 4

Boil the egg in continuously boiling water for 7 minutes. Remove and transfer to an ice water bath to stop the cooking. After 3 minutes, remove from the ice water, gently peel, and cut in half.
