Oats with Tomato and Cheddar

I will make this many more times and take some better photos,

but I wouldn't wait to share this one.

I haven't been feeling well, so something comforting and simple at work was all I wanted. Some savory oats have been in the back of my mind so it seemed like the perfect opportunity to give them a whirl.

I cooked some rolled oats on the stove, plain with a pinch of salt. Next, I sliced some fresh tomatoes and grated some extra sharp cheddar cheese, transporting them separately in my lunch bag. I assembled the bowl after reheating the oatmeal at work with some water, and snapped this picture with my iPhone before stirring together and digging in.

Delicious! I love the simple flavors of the cheddar and tomatoes; I ate tortillas stuffed with chopped tomatoes and cheddar for lunch in college and this is very similar. I was really satisfied after this lunch, can't wait to make it again!

Future topping ideas:

Cumin, chickpeas, tomatoes, and cilantro

Fresh figs and goat cheese

Grilled eggplant and bell pepper, garam masala

Fried egg, basil, parmesan

..any suggestions?..
