| Someone on the life hacks thread mentioned savory oatmeal. That sounded great! Please, give me your best ideas for making delicious savory oatmeal. |

| I make steel cut oats like kasha - stirring a beaten egg into the dry grains and cooking them a bit before adding boiling water. I then add things like bits of cheese, Chinese sausage, scallions… whatever strongly flavored stuff I have available. Leftovers get mixed with yet another beaten egg and cooked as oatcakes in a greased frying pan. |

Leeks and chicken stock!
Also Gruyère (I cut pear into it but no need). DH likes sundried tomatoes and Parmesan in his. Haven’t tried mushrooms, good idea! |

| I've never tried it but a friend take about doing Cheddar and chives or green onions. I think I would like barley this way but I can't get my brain around savory creamy oatmeal. I guess it shouldn't be that different than risotto, maybe? |

| Mine are simple but I just do steel cut oats, butter, salt, and sunflower seeds and/or nuts. |

I use oat bran for a smoother consistency. |

So does the sundried tomatoes! I can't find those anywhere. I prefer the dry ones and not the ones in oil. |

Cheddar and apple is fantastic. Trader Joe’s Unexpected Cheddar goes great with oatmeal.
Like a PP, I enjoy cheddar and soy sauce. Cheddar alone is too rich for me, you need a sharp note to balance the dairy and carbs. Scallions are good too, like congee. Chopped nuts and olives are great, the saltiness pairs well. |
