Equipment
- Small saucepan for oats

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (45 g) old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup (240 ml) low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
- 1/4 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp butter or olive oil (optional)
- 1 tsp nutritional yeast (optional)

- Hot sauce or chili oil, to taste
Instructions
- Bring broth to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Stir in oats and salt. Reduce heat and simmer 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thick and creamy.
- Remove from heat. Stir in butter or oil, pepper, and nutritional yeast if using. Add a splash of broth if too thick.
- While oats cook, fry or poach the egg.

- Sprinkle with cheese and seasoning. Drizzle with hot sauce or chili oil and serve immediately.
Notes
Use low-sodium broth for the base to avoid overpowering saltiness. Customize toppings with your favorite proteins, veggies, and cheeses. Great for meal prep—the oat base keeps 4 days in the fridge.
