My First Take on Savory Oats
I’ve been intrigued for some time by the idea of savory oats, but a woman set in her ways I had yet to give it a whirl. Until yesterday that is, when the need to use up a quite unusual combination of ingredients threatening to rot away in my fridge prompted me to give it a try. I must say, I’m pleased to have a whole new category of oats in my breakfast arsenal. The options are endless but the fried egg is definitely a must– break the yolk and blend it with your savory oats for a fabulous high protein start to your day
