  • ½ cup quick-cooking rolled oats

  • Coarse salt and ground pepper

  • Nonstick cooking spray

  • 1 large egg

  • 2 tablespoons shredded sharp cheddar

  • 1 tablespoon thinly sliced scallion greens

Directions

  1. In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup water to a boil. Add oats and pinch of salt; stir, reduce heat, and simmer until tender, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, heat a small nonstick pan over medium.
