Happy New Year. I want to share a fun way to get several breakfast favorites in one dish.
When I was a child, I used to enjoy a 50/50 ice cream bar. Do you remember those? They were an orange sherbet on one side and vanilla ice cream on the other. The best part of this ice cream is that you didn’t have to make a choice between sherbet and ice cream – you could have a little of both.
So this inspired an idea for breakfast. When it’s cold outside, oatmeal is especially appealing but after I workout in the morning, I also need a little protein. So I pulled out a ramekin and decided to make a breakfast dish that provided both.
These can be made ahead and frozen. You know I’m a big fan of cooking once and eating often to decrease the mess in the kitchen.
- 1-2 eggs, scrambled
- Prepared steel oats - follow the directions on package
- Bacon - 1 slice
- Cinnamon
- Honey or Fruit Sweet
- 1. Scramble eggs and season. Place in 1/2 of ramekin
- 2. Cook steel oats. Stir in cinnamon and sweeten to taste.
- 3. Place oats in other half of ramekin.
- 4. Cook bacon to desired doneness. Cut in small pieces and sprinkle on top on egg portion.
Here are a few other ideas on eating oatmeal….
