Savory Oatmeal with Cheddar and Fried Egg

Savory Oatmeal with Cheddar and Fried Egg

This savory oatmeal is a great way to switch up your breakfast routine. If you don't want to bother with frying up an egg in another pan, you can also crack the egg into the oatmeal when it is nearly done cooking.

INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup dry quick-cooking steel cut oats
3/4 cup water
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons shredded white cheddar cheese (add more if you like)
1 tsp coconut oil, divided
1/4 cup diced red pepper
2 tablespoons finely chopped onions
1 large egg
Optional Toppings
chopped walnuts
sliced green onions
za’atar (or any other spice blend)

INSTRUCTIONS
Stove Top Method: Bring water to boil. Add oatmeal, reduce heat a little and let it cook for about 3 minutes, until all liquid is absorbed. Turn off heat and stir in cheese, a small pinch of salt, and pepper.
Microwave Method*: Place oats and water in a microwave-safe bowl. Line microwave dish with paper towels to catch any spills. Microwave at a high setting (but not the highest, about 8/10 power setting) at one-minute intervals for a total of 3 minutes. If you want a softer texture, continue microwaving at 30-second intervals. Give the oats a little stir between intervals. When the oatmeal is done, stir in shredded cheese, a small pinch of salt, and pepper.
