Liquid and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 glass (240 milliliters/8 fluid ounces) of warm milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon parsley
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a spacious mixing bowl until thoroughly combined and slightly frothy.
- Incorporate rolled oatmeal and shredded cheese into the egg mixture, stirring until evenly distributed.
- Thoroughly coat a rectangular baking dish with olive oil, ensuring complete coverage to prevent sticking.
- Transfer the oatmeal and egg mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it uniformly with a spatula.
- Place the dish in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C), positioning it in the center rack for consistent heating.
- Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, monitoring the surface for a golden-brown color and firm, set texture.
- Remove from oven and allow the dish to rest for 3-5 minutes, enabling the ingredients to settle and stabilize.
- Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley and toasted sesame seeds over the top for added flavor and visual appeal.
- Slice into even portions and serve warm, enjoying the creamy texture and rich, cheesy flavor profile.
Notes
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like sharp cheddar, gouda, or feta to create unique flavor profiles and add depth to the dish.
- Customize the recipe for dietary needs by using gluten-free oats, dairy-free milk alternatives, and plant-based cheese for a vegan or lactose-intolerant friendly version.
- Add extra nutrients by incorporating diced vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms into the mixture for a more balanced and colorful breakfast bake.
- Ensure a fluffy texture by whisking eggs thoroughly and avoiding overmixing the ingredients, which can lead to a dense and heavy final product.
