Savory Oatmeal With Cheddar and Fried Egg image

Savory oatmeal is not quite the same as that perfect bowl of oats topped with five different berries and syrup. But savory oatmeal is good when you're wanting something warm, filling and not sweet, especially when cheese is involved. I got it from the Yummy site that has some great recipes if you haven't tried it. I used regular sharp cheddar with good results

Time 13m

Yield 1 bowl, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

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

Steps:

  • 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.
  • When the oatmeal is done, stir in shredded cheese, a small pinch of salt, and pepper.
  • Heat a non-stick 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.
  • Add remaining 1/2 teaspoon of oil and fry egg. Cook until the whites are no longer translucent and serve over oatmeal.
  • Top with chopped walnuts, green onions, and za'atar, if you like.
  • Notes.
  • *Different brands of oatmeal may have different cooking times for the microwave method. Check the packaging for instructions.
  • If you want an even lighter meal, use coconut oil spray instead of coconut oil.
  • If you have any leftover cooked vegetables from the day before, just add them to your oatmeal.
