Start your day right with this quick and easy Tomato Oatmeal Omelet. It is delicious and takes only 15 minutes to prepare.
I cannot stress enough the importance of breakfast, the first meal of the day. Breakfast provides us the fuel we want to start our day off right. For my family, it is one meal of the day we never skip. Our breakfasts are usually quite simple but they are warm and accompanied with hot tea or coffee.
Eggs for Breakfast
Most mornings, I have a slice of toast with cheese and sometimes a thin slice of meat. When I know I have a busier morning and want to feel full longer, I like to prepare an egg for myself such as hard boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, and egg bake.
Adding to the list today is this Tomato Oatmeal Omelet breakfast that will give you the energy needed to start your day. It takes about 15 minutes to prepare and requires just a few ingredients including oats.

Tomato Oatmeal Omelet
Today’s Tomato Oatmeal Omelet is an easy one to prepare. Since I am using Old Fashioned Quaker® Oats, I had to cook it first with some milk. It took only 5 minutes to cook. After which it was mixed with two eggs and a little bit of salt and ground pepper. The rest of the cooking took just another 5 minutes.

My favorite way to eat Quaker Oats is in my apple crisp
Sha says
I love eating it cooked with grated carrots and a dash of both cinnamon and nutmeg. Topped with a sprinkle of chopped walnyrs. Guilt free way of having carrot cake for breakfast the oatmeal way . Yum.

Thank you for the healthy recipe. Have been looking for a breakfast recipe that has oats but isn’t mushy for my fussy daughter. Could I cook the oats with water or water + full cream milk instead of low fat milk?
Linda says
You are welcome! Yes, you can cook the oats with water or a combination of milk and water.

Goodness, that looks delicious. I am pretty simple, my favorite is definitely overnight oats! I add in almond milk, flax, chia and a mixture of whatever fruit I have and it’s so filling and delicious!
