You know that feeling where you have a really awesome idea and then google it to find that a million other people also had the same really awesome idea? Well, here we are, I present to you: Savory Oatmeal.

Also known as “Svoats.”

^I swear I read that somewhere. There’s no way I could make that up.

The beauty of this recipe is that all I had to do was clean out the leftovers I had in my fridge and throw them together in a bowl. I toasted and cooked steel cut oats in a combination of water and milk (steel cut oats can take up to 30 minutes to cook, so if you’re in a rush any oatmeal will do). While your oatmeal is cooking, prepare your toppings. I used leftover onions, bacon, cheddar cheese, and eggs, but feel free to experiment with an array of vegetables and toppings, like mushrooms, bell peppers, spinach, toasted nuts and/or herbs, or even consider cooking your oatmeal in chicken broth! Serve warm.
