Savory Oatmeal

We love oatmeal, but sometimes I get tired of serving it basically the same way. When I saw this recipe for Savory Oatmeal I wanted to try it. Arthur and I decided it was worth adding to our breakfast repetoire.

Ingredients for 2 servings:

3 strips of bacon
1 1/2 cups oatmeal 
1 cup plain almond milk
1 cup water (or 2 cups water and no almond milk)
1-2 chopped scallions (whites separated from greens)
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoons salt 
2 eggs
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup heavy cream (or 1/2 & 1/2)
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Sriracha or hot sauce (opt.)

Steps to Prepare

Chop the bacon and saute until crispy. Drain the bacon but leave the grease in the pan.

Bring the water and almond milk to a simmer along with the whites of the scallions, the butter, and a teaspoon of salt. Stir in the oatmeal and cook until tender. Cover and set aside.

Fry the eggs in pan containing bacon grease. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook until they are as done as you like them.

Put the oatmeal in serving bowls, top with the cheese, next the eggs, bacon, and green onions. Drizzle with warm cream or 1/2 and 1/2 and Sriracha or hot sauce if you want the dish a bit spicy.
