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
• 0 Optional toppings (green onions, hot sauce, etc.)

Directions

Step 1

Combine the rolled oats, water, and salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

Step 2

Reduce the heat to low and let the oats simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 3

While the oatmeal cooks, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the teaspoon of butter.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

When the oatmeal is ready, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and well combined.

Step 6

Transfer the oatmeal to a serving bowl and sprinkle freshly cracked black pepper on top.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your savory egg and cheese oatmeal!
