Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil divided
- 2 tablespoon shallots minced
- ¾ cup steel cut oats
- ½ cup rolled oats
- 3 ½ cups water
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 cup brussels sprouts sliced
- 1 large sweet potato peeled and diced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3 eggs depending on your preference
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce optional
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat then add the shallots and stir for 1-2 minutes. Next, add the steel cut oats, rolled oats, water, and salt and stir. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a a simmer and simmer the oats for 4-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While oats are cooking, heat the remaining oil in a separate skillet, then add the brussels sprouts and sweet potato, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until they're cooked. Note: you may need to add more oil so that they cook faster.
- Once the sprouts and potatoes are cooked, turn the heat down to low and use a spatula to create a hole in the center of the skillet; then, crack an egg in the center. If you're cooking two eggs, create two holes. Fry the egg(s) until it's cooked all the way through.
- Once the oats are cooked, stir in the cheese until it's melted, and add black pepper to taste.
- To assemble: pour oats into a bowl then top them with the brussels sprouts, potatoes, egg, and hot sauce if using. Enjoy!
