Eggnog Oatmeal Recipe

 I invented this recipe last week. My children asked me to make it for breakfast three mornings in a row. I'd say that makes this recipe a keeper! :)

Eggnog Oatmeal Recipe

1 cup Quick Cooking Oats

2 cups water

2 TBS. Sugar

Dash of Salt

3/8 tsp. Ground Nutmeg

1 tsp. Vanilla Flavoring

1 Egg

1/2 cup Milk

3 TBS. Butter

In a 2 quart sauce pot, over medium heat combine oats, water, sugar, salt, nutmeg and vanilla.

Heat until boiling. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.

In the meantime, beat the milk and egg together until smooth. 

Once the oatmeal has cooked, temper the egg mixture with a few spoonfuls of oatmeal. Then pour the egg mixture into the oatmeal pot. Stir thoroughly. Cook for two minutes while stirring. 

Turn off heat and add butter. Stir until the butter has melted.

Enjoy!
