Savory Oatmeal just might be my favorite breakfast item, ever. Cheesy, spicy and oh-so-satisfying, this Jalapeño Popper masterpiece is a must-try! I definitely suggest serving this with a jammy egg and fresh herbs on top. Delish!
I pretty much always have all ingredients to make jalapeño poppers in my kitchen. Hence the flavors I decided to do here for breakfast. Other jalapeño popper inspired meals include my Cheesy Chicken Stuffed Poppers, these Jalapeño Popper Stuffed Burritos, and this Jalapeño Popper Chicken and Cream Cheese Chili. Oh, and you know you can never throw a party without my Jalapeño Poppers Dip served with Homemade Tortilla Chips.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED FOR THIS RECIPE:
FOR THE SAVORY OATMEAL:
- Butter
- Yellow Onion
- Jalapeno
- Whole Milk
- Heavy Cream
- Old Fashioned Oats
- Cream Cheese
- Extra Sharp Cheddar
- Salt
SUGGESTED ADDITIONS:

I didn’t think about this until after the fact, but avocado would be an excellent addition if you have one on hand.
As you can probably guess, I’m 100% a savory person, especially when it comes to breakfast. While some might prefer muffins, tarts, or jelly-filled donuts… I gravitate towards eggs, potatoes, bacon, and recently discovered that you can make oatmeal non-sweet! Trust me, this combination is AHH-MAZING.

NOTES ON THIS RECIPE:
- Jammy hardboiled eggs are pretty easy to make. Simply add eggs to a saucepan and cover with at least 1 inch of water. I like to add a little white vinegar to my water as well to help with the peeling process. Bring to a boil, cover and turn the heat off. Let eggs sit on the stove for 5 minutes. I have a glass stove-top so mine continue to soft-boil for the remaining 5 minutes. If you have a different type of stove, cooking times may vary. When the timer has gone off, place them in an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
- My all-time-favorite-seasoning is Still There Shine Sauce Blackening Rub. I use it on everything, and Chef Dave Bettendorf is a culinary wizard. You can buy his amazing products online; I definitely recommend them! They’ll be your fav too.
