Savory Irish Oats With Turkey Bacon, Cheddar, and Chives
Irish oats are hearty like brown rice or farro, and their neutral flavor is perfect for sweet and savory oatmeal.
For this savory oatmeal recipe, steel-cut Irish oats are cooked with vegetable broth and almond milk, then topped with turkey bacon, sharp cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions.
The finishing touch is a dollop of creamy Greek yogurt. Crack some fresh pepper over everything, grab a spoon, and dig in.
Eggs aren’t the only option for a savory breakfast anymore — although, a sunny-side up or soft-boiled egg would make an incredible topper to this breakfast bowl.
