Ever tried savory oatmeal before? You need to try this delicious cheesy oatmeal that’s topped with the perfectly fried egg! Ready in less than 10 minutes!

Remember that promise that you made at the beginning of the year to try new things, to taste new foods? (Okay, maybe that was a promise that I made.) Well, let’s do it now . . . with savory oatmeal

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.
• Heat a nonstick pan with 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add vegetables and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until they soften. Spoon vegetables over cooked oats. Reduce heat to medium.
