To temper an egg: to your beaten egg (and beat well...the original recipe I found commented on the inescapable egg nubs, but since then I've learned that to make perfect, fluffy scrambled eggs, you have to whisk them until they are uniform in color and frothy. It breaks down the protein structure of the egg white or something. So, I tried that the next time I made oatmeal and I didn't see near as many "nubs") add 1 cup of hot oatmeal and mix well, then stir back into the oatmeal and cook a little longer. You can do this with anything, you're just heating up the egg a little before adding it to the hot stuff in the pot to keep it from cooking hard. Super easy, and I won't make oatmeal any other way anymore! Oh, and I have to add coconut oil too, I can always tell when I forget it...it just doesn't taste as good!

I love your recipes, so I'm giving this a try...with just one twist. I had found a recipe a while back for "Cream of Wheat with Egg and Vanilla" that I loved, and thought why not add egg to oatmeal too? It's fantastic! I always add egg to oatmeal now. So, I'm adding a well-beaten egg to this. You have to temper the egg before adding it or it will end up with little nubs of egg in it, but it's a great way to get extra protein in the morning. It's smelling divine as it simmers on the stove right now, can't wait to dig in! I even (finally) have some raw cream to drizzle on top...mmm. Thanks for the wonderful, healthy and nourishing recipes! Hi Wardeh! I love your recipes, so I’m giving this a try…with just one twist.
