Morning Oatmeal Custard

This warm, creamy oatmeal custard takes me back to chilly mornings at my aunt’s house, where love simmered on the stove. She always said, “A good day starts with a good breakfast,” and this dish proved her right every time. It’s a hug in a bowl, perfect for quiet mornings or sharing with loved ones.
