SAVORY STEEL-CUT OATS WITH FRIED EGG AND ZA'ATAR



Savory Steel-Cut Oats With Fried Egg and Za'atar image

Oat porridge for breakfast is often topped with brown sugar and cream. Though sweetened porridge is delicious, a savory approach with oats makes a nice change. Think of oats as a fine substitute for rice - you don't always want rice pudding, do you? Steel-cut oats have a nutty whole-grain flavor and retain a nubbly texture, far superior to rolled oats; they pair nicely with savory toppings, for a risotto-like effect. This easy, hearty dish is actually suitable for any time of day, not just morning. If you can't find za'atar (a splendid spice mix of wild thyme, sumac and sesame used throughout the Middle East), try a sprinkling of toasted ground cumin or a pinch of oregano, or a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper. It's hard to cook a single portion of oats, so make the full batch. Leftovers can be reheated for another day's breakfast. (And if rolled oats is all you have, it's no crime.)
