Savory oatmeal is a great way to enjoy a warm and filling breakfast while still getting your egg and cheese fix. In this recipe we’ve taken slow cooked steel cut oats, infused them with bacon, scallions, and cheese, and topped them off with a crispy fried egg. To up the cheesiness of this dish, we use cottage cheese for creaminess and cheddar cheese for savoriness. FInish it all off with a generous amount of hot sauce and you may never go back to sweet oatmeal again.
