By Joelene

Ingredients

• 2 tsp. olive oil or butter
• 1 shallot, chopped
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/2 tsp. salt, optional
• 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 clove garlic, minced (1 tsp.)

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallot, tomatoes, and salt (if using). Cook 5 minutes, or until shallot has softened and tomatoes start releasing their juices. Add oats; cook 1 minute more.

Stir in garlic and 4 cups water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and dot with Brie. Sprinkle with basil and pine nuts.
