A simple and savory oatmeal recipe topped with a fried egg and melted cheddar cheese, perfect for a hearty breakfast or a quick meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup water or milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the oatmeal: Combine oats, water or milk, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until creamy.
  2. Fry the egg: While the oatmeal cooks, heat butter or oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Crack the egg into the skillet and cook to your desired doneness (sunny-side up, over-easy, etc.).
  3. Assemble: Pour the cooked oatmeal into a bowl.
  4. Top with cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the hot oatmeal and let it melt.
  5. Add the egg: Carefully place the fried egg on top of the oatmeal and cheese.
  6. Season: Sprinkle with black pepper to taste.

Notes

  • You can use quick oats for a faster cooking time, but rolled oats provide a better texture for this savory dish.
  • Feel free to add other seasonings like garlic powder or onion powder to the oatmeal for extra flavor.
  • For a richer flavor, use milk instead of water to cook the oatmeal.
