Add chicken stock, bouillon cube; and tomatoes and a little salt and olive oil

Chicken broth, miso, sesame oil and seeds.

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.

Also Gruyère (I cut pear into it but no need).

DH likes sundried tomatoes and Parmesan in his.

Haven’t tried mushrooms, good idea!

Gruyere and pear sounds great!

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

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.

I like oatmeal with sautéed mushrooms and a little butter.

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.

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