Savory Steel Cut Oats

Where are my savory breakfast lovers at?! These Savory Steel Cut Oats are made for you, friends and damn if I don’t love them too. I’m on a bit of a steel cut oat kick lately – I love how they maintain some chew after cooking and they get suuuuuper creamy. I took these ones in a little bit of an Asian direction with a little bit of miso mixed into the cooking liquid, plus some sautéed shiitake mushrooms.

Ingredients :
  • 3 1/2 cups Swanson Chicken Cooking Stock*, (28 fl oz)
  • 2 cups kale, chopped, (135 grams)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 slices Applegate Naturals Uncured Thick Cut Bacon, (24 grams cooked)
  • 2 1/2 oz raw shiitake mushrooms, sliced, (70 grams)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced, (8 grams)
  • 1/2 tsp white miso paste, (3 grams)
  • 1 cup steel cut oats, (176 grams)
  • 1 tsp Flavor God Garlic Lover's Seasoning
  • Optional toppings: green onions, red pepper flakes, black pepper
Directions :

  1. In a deep sauté pan (about 3 – 3 1/2 qt capacity), cook the bacon over medium-high heat until crispy, then set bacon aside on a paper towel lined plate.

  2. Remove about 1/2 of the bacon grease from the pan, then add the garlic, mushrooms, and kale. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until kale is a bright green, then set aside with the bacon.

  3. Add chicken stock and miso to the sauté pan and bring to a boil, then add steel cut oats. Bring the stock back to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. Turn the heat to medium-high, then stir the bacon and kale mixture into the oats. Heat for 2 minutes to ensure the temperature comes back up, then lower heat to a simmer again.

  5. Mix the oats thoroughly, then using a large spoon, create a "well" in the oats as you drop the 4 eggs into the oats around the pan. Place the lid back on the pan and simmer for another 5-8 minutes. (To ensure you get a runny yolk, wait until the top of the eggs turn white, then cook for another 1-2 minutes.)
