Corn porridge is cooked from quick-cooking grains in water with a small amount of milk, and at the very end, it's mixed with grated cheese, which gives it a wonderfully creamy flavor and a deliciously chewy texture. Serve the porridge with a fried egg and lightly pan-fried vegetables, including thinly sliced ​​carrots, sugar snap peas, and green onions, mixed with grainy mustard. Be careful not to overcook the vegetables, ensuring they retain their light crunch and juiciness, which is where their nutrition lies. The entire dish takes less than half an hour to prepare, making it perfect for a quick, filling, and healthy breakfast.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Combine 3.5 cups of water, milk, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of ground black pepper in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Slowly pour in the cornmeal, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, until thickened, 5-7 minutes. Stir in the cheese until melted, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm over very low heat.
  2. Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons (30 grams) butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the carrots and cook until softened, 2 minutes. Add the sugar snap peas and coarsely chopped green onions, season with salt, and stir. Add 2 tablespoons water, cover, and simmer until the vegetables are crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the mustard. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.

  3. Wipe out the skillet and melt the remaining 1 tablespoon (15 g) butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet; season with salt and pepper. Cook until the whites begin to set, about 3 minutes, then cover and cook until the whites are completely set but the yolks are still runny, another 1 to 2 minutes. Divide the porridge among bowls, top with the eggs and vegetables, and sprinkle with parsley, dill, and chopped green onions.
