  • Author: anna
  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Description

A comforting stovetop breakfast bowl featuring creamy cheddar-infused oatmeal topped with a fried egg, green onions, and a splash of hot sauce for a savory morning fix.


Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Hot sauce, for serving

Instructions

  1. Boil the broth: Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
  2. Cook the oats: Stir in the oats and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring often to prevent sticking.
  3. Add cheddar and pepper: Stir in the cheddar and black pepper. Taste and add salt as needed.
  4. Fry the eggs: In a separate skillet, melt butter over medium heat and fry the eggs until the whites are set and the yolks reach your desired doneness.
  5. Assemble: Divide the cheddar oats between bowls, top with fried eggs, scatter the sliced green onions, and drizzle with hot sauce.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, use low-sodium broth and reduce butter to 1 teaspoon.
  • Leftover oatmeal can be cooled and reheated with a splash of broth or water to loosen it up.
  • Pair with a side of fruit for a balanced breakfast.
