Notes
Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days. You can reheat the stove top or in the microwave. I suggest stirring in a splash of water, milk, or cream before reheating to avoid drying out your oats.
Any cheese you enjoy can go into these oats. Try Pepper Jack or Habanero Cheddar to bring a bit of heat to the dish or take a creamier route by stirring in goat cheese, brie or even mascarpone.
