Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup milk or unsweetened almond milk not vanilla
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- 2 ounces feta cheese divided

Instructions
- In a medium pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the oats and cook for 30 seconds to toast.
- Add the water and milk to the pot and bring it 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 if necessary.
- Stir in the salt, garlic powder, and oregano. Keep on very low heat.
- Meanwhile, place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with at least 2 inches of cold water. Stir in ½ tablespoon of salt and place over high heat until it reaches a boil.
- Remove the saucepan from heat, cover it with a tight-fitting lid and let it sit for 6 minutes.
- Drain the water from the saucepan and transfer the eggs to an ice bath. Allow them to cool for 5 minutes before peeling.
