Dishing Up the Dirt

Savory Oatmeal with Miso Butter

Don’t get me wrong. I love my oatmeal with cinnamon and sugar but every once in a while a girl needs a savory bowl of oats and this simple breakfast is spot on! I’ve been making miso butter a lot recently and it’s wonderful served with roasted veggies, meat or simply smeared onto a piece of toast. This breakfast is a great way to switch up your morning bowl of oats and I hope you all love this as much as we do. Feel free to add any other veggies to this. I think sautéed mushrooms would be a great addition here. We used leftover snow peas from dinner but feel free to play around here with what you’ve got. Just don’t skip the fried egg!

Pour a cup of coffee and dig in!

    I’ve actually never had oatmeal savoury before. Always thought of them as a sweet treat for breakfast, but this could make a great dinner or lunch, too!

    I always make savory veggie-egg oats by sauteing the vegetables (carrots, cabbage, etc) in the pot with a bit of oil, then boiling it all together with the oats for a bit before cracking in some eggs. It makes a really hearty, satisfying breakfast. It will be interesting to try this version where it’s all separately cooked! Especially adding miso!

      Yes, I too saute veggies, onions, cabbage, mushrooms, carrots, etc in some oil till soft, add some stock if no stock available, or a ramen flavoring packet or I just use spices and herbs then add some water then the oats boil it up till soft. I Haven’t cracked any eggs in it yet. But what a fantastic porridge such a satisfying tasty meal.
