Prep Time 10 min

Cook Time 25 min

Switch your oatmeal toppings to the savoury side for a satisfying breakfast any day of the week.

Step 1
Bring 2 cups (500 mL) water to a boil in medium saucepan. Stir in oats and 1/4 tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 to 18 minutes or until tender. Stir in 1 tbsp (15 mL) butter.
Step 2
Meanwhile, melt remaining butter in non-stick skillet set over medium heat; break eggs into skillet. Cover and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until eggs whites are just set for sunny-side up. (Alternatively, cook to desired doneness.)
Step 3
Divide oatmeal among 4 bowls. Sprinkle with cheese and green onion. Top each serving with fried egg. Season with remaining salt and pepper.

Tips

• Substitute chopped chives, baby arugula or cherry tomatoes for the green onions.
• Cook oats in vegetable or chicken broth instead of water.
