Step 1
Bring chicken broth to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, ~3 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in oats and reduce heat to medium-low, stirring often until oats soften, ~8 minutes.
Step 3
Remove from heat and stir in cheddar until melted and smooth.
Step 4
Transfer oatmeal to bowls, then crack an egg into each, stirring gently to break the yolk.
Step 5
Let sit 2 minutes so the egg white sets while the yolk stays jammy.
Step 6
Season with salt and pepper, then serve immediately.
