Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 2 cups Water
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon Butter
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- Optional toppings (green onions, hot sauce, etc.)
Instructions
Combine the rolled oats, water, and salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and let the oats simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency.
While the oatmeal cooks, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the teaspoon of butter.
Crack the egg into the skillet and cook until the whites are set but the yolk remains runny, about 2-3 minutes. For a fully cooked yolk, flip the egg and cook an additional 1-2 minutes.
When the oatmeal is ready, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and well combined.
Transfer the oatmeal to a serving bowl and sprinkle freshly cracked black pepper on top.
Carefully place the cooked egg over the oatmeal. Add any desired toppings, such as chopped green onions or a drizzle of hot sauce, for extra flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your savory egg and cheese oatmeal!
