Three Bears' Porridge

At least, this is always how I imagined it as a child and I have spent *years* trying to come up with a recipe that is the consistency and flavor of that fantasy porridge. And this morning, I hit it! So here it is.

1/3 c oat bran
1/2 c cow's milk (I use lactose free organic)
1/2 c vanilla rice milk
1/8 tsp kosher salt
1 egg

Bring milks to a simmer; add salt and stir in oat bran. Turn off heat and cover; leave for 3-5 minutes. (I keep the pan on the stove eye and use the residual heat.) Meanwhile, beat egg in bowl and add, a little at a time, some of the hot oat bran to the egg. When the egg is "tempered" pour it into the oat bran and stir. Add milk to desired consistency. Cover and let sit another 5 minutes.
