Instructions

Cooking the Oatmeal

In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, sugar, and salt.
Stir them together over medium heat and feel the mixture begin to warm.
Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the oats are soft and creamy.

Preparing the Custard

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract until frothy.
Slowly add a bit of the hot oatmeal mixture to the eggs to temper them, stirring continuously.
Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.

Final Touches

Add cinnamon and stir to combine.
Serve warm with optional toppings as desired.
