When you think of oatmeal, you are probably imagining something sweet with toppings like bananas, berries, maple syrup, and cinnamon. But who says oatmeal can’t be salty? Use some oatmeal with water or milk as a base and try out these exciting new toppings.
Egg + Avocado
Avocado oatmeal is the new avocado toast. Try this healthy alternative by slicing an avocado into a warm bowl of oatmeal. Add an egg made in whichever method you prefer: poached, scrambled or fried.
Tomato + Pesto + Parmesan
Adding savory parmesan to hot oatmeal gives the dish a decadent risotto-like taste. Stir in some diced fresh tomatoes and a spoonful of homemade pesto for an extra special brunch.
Bacon + Egg + Cheddar Cheese
If you’re a sucker for a bacon egg and cheese sandwich but don’t want to go crazy on the carbs, this one’s for you. Crispy slices of bacon and tangy orange cheddar combine with an egg to create an unforgettable oatmeal dish.
Mushrooms + Kale + Garlic
If the idea of savory oatmeal is still new to you, fresh minced garlic is a great way to introduce your tastebuds. Sautéed portobello mushrooms and Tuscan kale are also great oatmeal toppings.
