Don’t Be Afraid to Experiment with Food! All recipes were creative projects at some point in time!
Last week I was looking in the refrigerator not sure what I
wanted to eat for breakfast. So, I decided to be a
little creative!
My favorite oatmeal is McCann’s steel cut Irish oatmeal. It takes a little longer prep
time but definitely worth the extra time, about 20-25 minutes. I make it as per the tin’s instruction,
which makes 4 servings, and will have 3 servings left for other days unless I have people here to help eat it. This oatmeal is
fine leftover too, so no big problem with that! I actually had less than one portion left so
what to do, what to do? Get creative!
In a small frying pan, I melted a bit of butter (only use
real products), added the cold oatmeal to heat it through. Once heated through I made a hole or well in
the center and let the underside brown a bit.
I then filled that hole with 2 raw organic eggs, covered the pan and
cooked to eggs to my preferred doneness. I had 2 luscious fried eggs surrounded by nicely browned on bottom old-fashioned
steel cut oatmeal! Totally scrumptious
and a do again recipe.
I also tried this
technique with some leftover rice and that also worked well. Be sure to salt and pepper to taste for
optimum flavor…experiment, create, and play with your food!
Go forth and play with your food!!
Ciao for now!
