This is basically what I do! I treat my quick oats like a fast congee substitute. I use boullion powder to make it savoury and eat it with chinese pickles and/or chili oil.
I eat oatmeal every morning (late morning) Regular rolled organic oatmeal. I put a little brown sugar a pinch of cinnamon and sliced almonds to give texture and good cholesterol. I don't eat lunch and am not hungry for it. Since I've been doing this I have lost a lot of weight. I eat whatever I want for dinner but I often add a delicious salad andalways have veggies I NEVER eat out or eat take out. I eat desert in the early evening sometimes fruit but often baked goods I bake myself. Lost over 40 lbs.
making your own food with whole ingredients always ends up better for you. A cookie made with butter and good flour will be much better for you than a prepackaged one.
Savory oats is the way to go. I would have used the bacon fat to fry the egg and toast the oats. some good stock would be a great substitute for milk too. I usually make mine by sautéing onion, garlic, chilis adding the oats then chicken stock as a base. great topping suggestions are rabe, tuna and another with spinach and feta
I replace the oatmeal with sticky rice (sweet rice, glutinous rice etc) drop a raw egg in, whip it up, soy sauce - yum Will definitely try the same thing with your oat mix
Looking forward to trying this. I've been making a savory oatmeal of my own that I love which I refer to "Bacon jalapeno popper oatmeal". Crisp up some sliced bacon pieces and remove, cook half of a diced onion in the bacon fat along with a diced jalapeno, pour in the oats toast like risotto (I also like to let that bacon fat brown to the bottom of the pot), add water and scrape away the fond and cook until thickened. Then I add in some cheddar and a small amount of cream cheese, stir it up, plate it, top with bacon and chives.
I do overnight rolled oatmea, milk with chia seeds maple syrup, I add fresh fruit... overnight in the fridge then I heat it at work and it's delicious!! Thank you for the new recipe!
This is amazing. I’ve made oatmeal almost daily for my now 4 year old toddler since he’s been able to eat solids. He also loves bacon (of course) and any greens. This will be his favourite meal ever. Thanks for the creative inspiration as always. You’re the man.
Savory oatmeal is def. one of those IYKYK things. I make it with chorizo, cloud ear mushrooms, green chili, ginger and whatever kind of stock I may have on hand, with some fresh chopped scallions stirred in right at the end. The star of my breakfast for a decade and a half.
I’ve been eating savory oatmeal for years! You can make it with any foods and flavors you like! I love using Brussel sprouts, shallots, bacon or fried spam, cheeses, and maybe some spicy chili crisp.
Interesting! Oats would be a traditional staple food here in Ireland & my father would balk at the idea of putting sugar anywhere near a bowl of porridge, salt on the other hand is essential. For me, I cook porridge with a pinch of salt but add some honey. I have found a massive difference between the regular oats and gluten free oats. The GF oats hold their texture well, are nutty & not gloopy. The regular oats (which I believe are not safe for coeliacs due to the likelihood of wheat being present) are nastily gloopy. Sadly to buy oats without the addition of wheat means paying vastly more.
I made this today for my annual end of school breakfast for our English Department. I doubled it which I didn’t realize would double the time but it was a big hit. I did make a change, I omitted the arugula and replaced the bacon with pancetta which I thought was more in keeping with the use of olive oil and Parmigiano Reggiano. I had a friend over tonight and we had the leftover for dinner. Bravo.
YES! I tell people I mix some Parm and olive oil in instant oatmeal, par cook it, then drop an egg in the middle and finish the cook and they look at me like I'm crazy!
For a middle road, Bob’s Red Mill sells extra thick rolled oats, which retain texture, but cook quickly. And half milk is a must!! It’s so bland without. If you want to try plain old oatmeal that’s not more boring than it needs to be to see if you like it, simply 1:1:1 in volume oats, water, milk (⅓-½ cup/person), with a good pinch of salt per serving. Soak overnight, bring to a boil, simmer until thick-maybe 10 minutes in all for a serving or two, if you soaked overnight. Let it cool a bit in your bowl, and top with good honey or maple syrup and plenty of heavy cream (or butter). Cinnamon and berries on top are great-the cinnamon’s a must unless you have it very often. Honestly, this is my favorite on sunny mornings in the summer.
I got really into savory oats a couple of summers ago and i basically did this same recipe with chicken stock for the liquid and a roasted tomato instead of arugula.
Love seeing this! I’ve been making savory oatmeal recipes like this for years and people always thought I was weird. I just don’t like sweet things, especially in the morning. This style is always just more satisfying.
I’ve never seen oatmeal look like that, and I’ve been eating it regularly for 70 yrs now. Put some milk into that stodgy, drizzle some Lyle’s Golden Syrup over it, add a few strawberries and some seeds. You;re done! Nothing could be simpler or tastier.
I've been attempting different versions of savory oatmeal for a while now, and I cannot wait to try this one. Sweet stuff in the morning is a big no for me.
in Scotland we tend to call oatmeal "porridge", and traditionally here it's eaten savory, though the English taste for sugar has become mainstream now my mum used to make me salted porridge for breakfast with bit of cream on top, and crispy bacon and black pudding on the side not the healthiest breakfast, but very substantial for an underweight kid who hates breakfasts haha it's been years since i've made it myself!! next time i'll be looking forward to putting this twist on things, italian food has always been my favourite to cook :)
My family stuff turkey with scurly- fried oatmeal dressing.And my grandpa used to talk about how his dad would make big frying pans full for the 2 of them to have for dinner when his mom was out. Not healthy either- but a fav. Lol
Yes - SAVORY OATMEAL! I use vegetable Better Than Bouillon for my oatmeal. I top w/ fried egg & sautéed shallots, mushroom, spinach with a bit of soy sauce, and a sprinkle of parm.
Savory oatmeal is great. Probably my favorite winter breakfast. Since I want my breakfasts to be super quick I usually use quick oats. Cooked with salt and rosemary, with a dash of soy sauce. Then a fried egg and hot sauce on top. The egg yolk adds that extra flavor and richness.
I am glad you have discovered steel cut and used it in a savory way. I do love the chew of steel cut so much better than rolled. You chew longer and it seems to fill you up better with less.
I have an idea for oatmeal myself. My idea takes more of a sweet tropical route. It's along your lines but using coconut milk or coconut cream. I would then top it with caramelized spiced pineapple (cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and allspice), and chopped toasted nuts and toasted coconut flakes. I would also serve it with bacon. That's my idea. I know you wouldn't like though. But I have to say I've always liked oatmeal.
Okay, steel-cut oats are DEFINITELY better if you’re making a hot cereal…but rolled oats are a MUST if you’re making homemade granola (it’s not just for hippies, I swear! 😂)
Excellent recipe and process, Stephen. And I may have a solution for rolled oats, for I too, detested the papier-mâché of my youth. The answer is a stir fried oatmeal. I toast rolled oats (and some nuts)and butter in a big pan or wok, frying/toasting and tossing it until fragrant and browned. Then deglaze with liquid of choice (any milk or fruit juice for sweet, broth or wine for savory. Add toss-ins per your creative instinct in which ever direction your want to push these crisper and more flavorful oats.
The first time I tried grits with salt n pepper it blew my mind. Cheesy grits n shrimp is amazing too, I never thought of trying savory oatmeal. Now I have to!
You can still make it without being savory. Reduce your whole milk on the stove with some spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, or whatever you like, maybe with a small amount of shaved almond that you toast up with your oats, before adding the spiced milk. It will be semi sweet from the milk.
Nothing beats steel cut oats. To make it even easier... Put the oats and milk in a Dutch oven, and throw it in the oven for an hour. Zero mixing and no scorching.
I like this with sliced pears as well. I an an egg person. That egg is over cooked for me- I like a super hot pan, plenty of butter, then immediately turn to low (lift off heat if white is too thin) and just as the white is set, flip it over. Turn off the heat. The residual heat cooks the white while yolk stays loose.
Dude, your videos are great. I’ve tried a couple of them and they ALWAYS deliver. I’m not an oatmeal guy but this looks great. Savory oatmeal is interesting. I might have to try this with a Kenji fried egg instead of the sunny side up. But kudos man, I’m a fan of yours.
Call me crazy, but I make my oatmeal with steel cut + rolled oats (extra thick) added at -10 mins + oat bran added at -3 mins. And, yes, I do like to add a sunny-side-up egg on top! I don't usually make it that loose and flow-ey. I like the way it looks!
@@DavidRomaine-bu8vu No. To be honest. I have not heard of these dishes before. As I understand they are more common in souther eastern europe. I come more from north. Specificly - Latvia.
Savory cheesy oatmeal…. You should just try grits instead. I know I’ll be making some cheese grits just like this real soon… probably without the greens though.
People from up north really should try grits more. Everyone I know who I’ve made them for the first time has really liked them… for a lot of the same reasons savory oatmeal might be appealing
Greetings from Bangalore, India. We have been using savory oats for decades...we get them in different masala flavors ready to cook or we can make our own masalas and add....almost always vegetarian.
Savory oatmeal is great, but there's something great about a simple cooked oatmeal too. I cook it with water (1.5 : 1) and finish with milk. Flavoured with cinnamon and cardamom and with milk around the pile of oatmeal. If you want more, cut in small pieces of a sweet apple, or even break in dark chocolate and let it melt (though it's about 50/50 with people who found this repulsive, haha).
My favorite way to eat oatmeal (not for breakfast but as a meal) is treating it like sticky rice. I even make it in a rice cooker, then throw some vegetables, fried egg, marinated beef, gochujang. And nake a bibimbap inspired oatmeal
You missed adding some flavour by cooking the egg in some of the bacon fat. As for oatmeal, I love oatmeal. Mine turns out smooth though when I cook it. It wasn't chunky like yours was when you cooked the rolled oats. You gotta cook it longer so it breaks down to be ultra smooth I use a 2:1 ratio of water to oatmeal, and then I add cinnamon, cardamom, 1/2 teaspoon of salt per cup of rolled oats, and if I feel like it, a bit of a dark brown sugar, the kind mixed in with molasses. Sometimes I add pieces of precooked apple to it as well. I'm also gonna try soaking it in water over night to see if that also helps to soften it. Seems to help when I want to cook brown rice.
I’m from Scotland; my father thought sugar in oatmeal was like pineapple on a pizza - just not done! Salt. Just salt. It was a substitute for potato as far as he was concerned. Always savoury, never sweet.
I mean most poeple eat oatmeal as an healthy option, sometimes to loose weight etc. This ver with that much parmesan/bacon, defeats the purpose somehow. If I want a nice dish like this, I sure as well will not choose oats.
I personally love oatmeal. I make it with cinnamon and cane sugar and all sorts of fruits dried fruits or caramelised fruits. The combinations are close to endless.
Never liked oatmeal but growing up in the south I discovered grits and absolutely love eating grits in all kinds of way. I’ll take grits over oatmeal any day.
Can't wait to try this one! Cooking has definitely helped me learn to love things I hated as a kid. As soon as tomato season comes around, I'm going to make your tomato sandwich recipe 😎
Tried the recipe (eating it rn). Its good, but my oats were a little rubbery, i used the quaker steel oats and followed the recipe to a T. What did I do wrong?
Pro tip: Make the bacon first, use the rendered fat in the oats & fry the egg in it as well for that full savory flavor throughout... Maybe add some nice mushrooms as well? Damn I'm hungry 😎
I couldn’t agree with you more. Always hated oatmeal and and I can’t eat until at least 10:30 am and it has to be something savory. Don’t like any of the sweet breakfast foods. I am going to try this recipe because I heard that oatmeal is good to help reduce cholesterol. Plus being that this is savory I will probably learn to enjoy oatmeal.
Never tried savory ots before, but I love me some asian rice based porridge, jok or congee. Same style of cooking, but using good pork broth to cook it in. Thin strips of ginger and scallions and a just cooked egg youk. yum!
I don’t know who’s been making your oatmeal! I mix rolled and steel cut and love it. I have a friend who eats savory oats for dinner, I’ve seen it plenty in here. I just can’t wrap my head around it! One day…😊
If you didn't like oatmeal as a child, you obviously did not use enough brown sugar on it. But this idea? It intrigues me. I'm going to have to try it. ETA _ Yup. It's awesome. Thanks dude!
Oat meal/Rice pudding is banger, bruh. Serve it hot with some cinnemon sugar on top and some nisseøl/Danish christmas brew and you have a banging dessert for christmas eve ... Or you know, a breakfast for a starving student.
Soak the oats overnight, then you only have to cook for about 5 minutes and you get even better chew. Hydrating and cooking are two different processes, and it turns out most of the "cooking" is actually hydration for steel cut oats. So get that out of the way overnight and concentrate on cooking alone!
Omg. Did you get in my mind for the introduction!?! Never, have I ever, seen anyone else have the exact same response to oatmeal until now. I think that means we must be related. 😏
People have been making savory oat stews for thousands of years, in my country in the ol' times it used to be served with salt, butter and whatever splash of alcohol, milk or lard you had.
I first started to learn to cook when I was ten mostly because I didn't want oatmeal for breakfast, I wanted eggs and my mom was usually too busy to cook
I'm still trying to process the no texture thing to oatmeal... 😅 It's not smooth by any of my standards 🙈 I do like oatmeal, but it needs some help indeed and I'm not sure I'd be able to eat it early morning (not a morning eater either) my grandma used to make an awesome oatmeal dessert. Im still trying to replicate that to this day. Unfortunately she never used recipes, just went by eye and also whatever she was making, it was never exactly the same as she would put in random stuff or leftovers 😅 mostly turned out perfect. She would own up to mistakes and then usually eat it herself and grandpa never minded either, neither were picky eaters. (but they experienced '40-'45 in the Netherlands, so they knew the value of food) Still miss them dearly. All 4 of my grandparents, both grandma's were phenomenal cooks.. I could never live up to that. ❤
very good idea. i'm gonna try it. for me though, a similar thing I don't like gnocchi, slimy mealy flavorless. I mean, maybe you love it so it wouldn't be worth changing, but maybe you don't... it could be like a smoked fish pie instead dunno just throwing it out there. cheers. peace.
Savoury oatmeal is a game changer. I make it with a lot of water and add flavour with dashi and soy sauce so it resembles a congee with more texture.
This is basically what I do! I treat my quick oats like a fast congee substitute. I use boullion powder to make it savoury and eat it with chinese pickles and/or chili oil.

Consider adding vegetable or chicken stock and scaling back the water in the mix you cook the oatmeal in.
why does everybody fry eggs in gallons of grease? you don't need all that crap especially when using a non stick pan!
Try hullless whole grain oats if you love risotto. Far better than steel-cut one and has more protein, much less carb than risotto.
Have you thought of using chicken stock instead of milk and water to cook the oats? It adds even more savory flavor.
Never tried savory ots before, but I love me some asian rice based porridge, jok or congee. Same style of cooking, but using good pork broth to cook it in. Thin strips of ginger and scallions and a just cooked egg youk. yum!
Wow I’m gonna have to give this a try
Excellent! I'm definitely going to try making this!! Thank You
NOW YOU ARE TALKING!! Savory breakfast for the win!
Oh hell yes I will try this... And this mans hairstyle is rockin'
Savory oatmeal... demonstrating the flexibility of oats for sure... kudos
*Epic* Just happened to be gifted fresh bacon. Making this now!
I love grits, bacon and eggs. But always on the lookout for something new and this looks like it’s definitely worth trying. Thanks 👍✌️☮️
I don’t know who’s been making your oatmeal! I mix rolled and steel cut and love it. I have a friend who eats savory oats for dinner, I’ve seen it plenty in here. I just can’t wrap my head around it! One day…😊
If you didn't like oatmeal as a child, you obviously did not use enough brown sugar on it. But this idea? It intrigues me. I'm going to have to try it. ETA _ Yup. It's awesome. Thanks dude!
Oat meal/Rice pudding is banger, bruh. Serve it hot with some cinnemon sugar on top and some nisseøl/Danish christmas brew and you have a banging dessert for christmas eve ... Or you know, a breakfast for a starving student.
genius, I thought to do this a few months ago when I put bacon & eggs with my oatmeal.
this recipe made me feel so happy and excited omg :'( I've been eating oatmeal ALL WRONG! Thank you for this!
Pinch of sugar, butter, and golden syrup was my childhood favourite.
Soak the oats overnight, then you only have to cook for about 5 minutes and you get even better chew. Hydrating and cooking are two different processes, and it turns out most of the "cooking" is actually hydration for steel cut oats. So get that out of the way overnight and concentrate on cooking alone!
Omg. Did you get in my mind for the introduction!?! Never, have I ever, seen anyone else have the exact same response to oatmeal until now. I think that means we must be related. 😏
People have been making savory oat stews for thousands of years, in my country in the ol' times it used to be served with salt, butter and whatever splash of alcohol, milk or lard you had.
Thanks, Always Awesome !!
I first started to learn to cook when I was ten mostly because I didn't want oatmeal for breakfast, I wanted eggs and my mom was usually too busy to cook
I'm still trying to process the no texture thing to oatmeal... 😅 It's not smooth by any of my standards 🙈
I do like oatmeal, but it needs some help indeed and I'm not sure I'd be able to eat it early morning (not a morning eater either) my grandma used to make an awesome oatmeal dessert. Im still trying to replicate that to this day. Unfortunately she never used recipes, just went by eye and also whatever she was making, it was never exactly the same as she would put in random stuff or leftovers 😅 mostly turned out perfect. She would own up to mistakes and then usually eat it herself and grandpa never minded either, neither were picky eaters. (but they experienced '40-'45 in the Netherlands, so they knew the value of food) Still miss them dearly. All 4 of my grandparents, both grandma's were phenomenal cooks.. I could never live up to that. ❤
I gotta try it now
Wow!! This brings oatmeal to a whole new level!!! I will def try this! Thanks
very good idea. i'm gonna try it. for me though, a similar thing I don't like gnocchi, slimy mealy flavorless. I mean, maybe you love it so it wouldn't be worth changing, but maybe you don't... it could be like a smoked fish pie instead dunno just throwing it out there. cheers. peace.
That looks pretty good, slick
I like to use the rendered bacon fat to toast my oats when I'm in the mood for savoury oats.
