- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water, and milk. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and the mixture thickens to your desired consistency.

Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the oats. Stir until the cheese is completely melted and the oats become creamy and rich.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. You can add a bit more salt or pepper according to your preference.
Transfer the cheesy oats to serving bowls. Garnish with chopped chives for a burst of color and extra flavor, if desired.
