A strange, new DeJoux House breakfast today. Since working with Quaker I've wanted to create a savory oatmeal breakfast. Rather pleased with this first effort. "Bacon, egg and cheese porridge". I fried bacon bits until crispy, added small diced red onion and browned. Added rolled oats and toasted until it had a nutty fragrance then added milk/water mix. I had flax seeds and toasted pine nuts so added a few of them too...salt and pepper then when oatmeal was nearly cooked I stirred in some gruyere cheese and kept warm in Aga's coolest oven (it can stay there warm for a while). I cut up tomato, avocado, spring onion/scallion. Then as people got up I fried 2 eggs. Put porridge in bowl with tomato, avocado and scallions on top. sprinkled with red pepper flakes, pinch flax seed, drizzle olive oil. Eggs in top. Delish.
