Savory Oatmeal: It is unbelievably delicious – it transforms oatmeal from the mundane to the magnificent! It almost tastes like serving delicious risotto for breakfast.

All amounts are estimated (adjust to personal preference):

• 1 cup freshly cooked oatmeal (we like bob’s red mill)
• Freshly chopped basil
• A sprinkle of cayenne pepper
• ½ ounce of chopped cheese (habanero pepper jack or any other variety)
• ½ ounce of chopped walnuts (or other kinds of nuts – preferably toasted, if you aren’t using walnuts, for the deeper flavor)
• Pinch of sea salt
• Freshly cracked black pepper
• 1 slice crispy bacon (crumbled or chopped), or 1 ounce chopped ham
• Prepare oatmeal according to directions, chop all of the toppings and then sprinkle or spoon all ingredients on top of the hot oatmeal and enjoy!
