  • 1 cup steel-cut oatmeal
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup Cabot cottage cheese
  • 8oz Cabot Vermont Sharp Cheddar, shredded
  • Olive oil spray
  • 1 egg per person

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add oats, stir to toast for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Add milk and water and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until oats are tender.
