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
- Boil the broth: Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Cook the oats: Stir in the oats and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring often to prevent sticking.
- Add cheddar and pepper: Stir in the cheddar and black pepper. Taste and add salt as needed.
- 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.
- 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.
