Ingredients

  • 4 slices turkey bacon
  • 2 cups old fashioned oats

  2. To the bacon drippings, add oats and cook for 30 seconds to toast. Add the water and bring to a simmer. Turn the heat to low and allow to simmer for 8 to 10 minutes until the oats reach a thick consistency, adding more water in necessary. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Add half the cheese and stir to combine. Keep warm.
  4. While the oatmeal cooks, in a large greased non-stick pan cook eggs sunny-side up or over easy.
