One big pot of savory oats with a topping bar — cheese, green onion, hot sauce, and soft eggs. Performance-minded shift fuel for crews tracking macros.

Ingredients

• 4.8 cups rolled oats
• 9.6 cups water or broth
• 1 3/4 tsp kosher salt
• 2.6 tbsp butter
• 3/4 cup shredded cheddar
• 5 soft-cooked eggs
• 3/8 cup green onions

Instructions

1. Simmer the oats: Bring liquid and salt to a boil. Stir in oats; reduce to a simmer. Cook until creamy, stirring often so nothing sticks.
2. Finish savory: Stir in butter. Taste and adjust salt. Keep covered on low while the crew builds bowls.
3. Set the topping bar: Lay out cheese, green onions, hot sauce, and soft eggs. Let everyone build without crowding the pot.
4. Serve and hold: Hold the pot on the lowest heat with a splash of water if it thickens. Refill toppings as needed.
