Bacon & Cheese Savoury Oats (Trust me on this one!)

It’s National Porridge Week and I’m delighted to be teaming up with @flahavans to take on the “Bags Full of Potential” Challenge to showcase just how versatile Flahavan’s Oats are.

When you hear the word Porridge, most of us automatically picture a delicious steaming hot bowl, drizzled with honey & topped with fruit, but did you know that in Asia, savoury porridge oats are common place? It got me thinking, why it never took off in this part of the world?

I never had much of a sweet tooth and definitely prefer a breakfast that’s savoury so I decided to take influence from Asia’s savoury porridge but use some sharp Cheddar and Smokey Bacon. Trust me, It was incredibly delicious and it didn’t feel like it had to be breakfast anymore either. You could easily have this for lunch or dinner and it takes around 10 minutes!

What you need:
serve 2

* 80g Flahavan’s Porridge Oats
* 295ml of Chicken/Veg Stock
* 235ml Milk
* 70g Red Mature Cheddar, grated
* 100g Smoked Bacon Lardons
* Salt and Pepper to taste

Serve with:
* A Runny Seasoned Fried Egg
* Sliced Avocado
* Sautéed Spinach
* Chives, Chopped

What to do:

– Fry off the Bacon in a little oil until crisp, set aside
– In the same pot, add the Flahavan’s Porridge Oats, Stock/Water, the Milk & stir it up over medium heat until cooked
– Add the cheedar, return back the bacon and mix until cheese is melted (don’t forget to reserve some bacon to serve on top later)
– Season well with salt and black pepper to taste (add some butter if you’re feeling indulgent)
– Top with the seasoned fried egg, sliced avocado, sautéed spinach, crisp bacon and chives.
– Enjoy!

Rachel’s baked eggs with tomatoes, chorizo, chilli and cheese

baked-egg-chorizo-cheese

 
 DIRECTIONS

 

Preheat the oven to 180°C, 350°F, Gas 4. Put a frying pan on a medium-low heat, add the olive oil then add the skinned, chopped tomatoes, see my tip, above left. Season with a good pinch of salt and cook for about 15 minutes, until the tomato sauce is thick and viscous.
Remove from the heat, stir in the chopped parsley and the crushed chilli peppers. Divide the tomato sauce between four ovenproof ramekins and break 2 eggs into each dish. Place a slice of the chorizo on top of each egg and divide the grated manchego or Parmesan cheese, whichever you’re using, between the ramekins.
Place in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, until the whites are set, but the yolks are just ever so slightly soft. Just before the eggs are ready, toast the slices of bread and butter them.
Remove the eggs from the oven and serve with the buttered toast.

  • dunnesstores's profile picturedunnesstores
  • This recipe for breakfast croissants from our brand ambassador @nevenmaguire is the perfect Mother’s Day weekend treat. Find the full recipe below and shop the ingredients in your local Dunnes Stores.

    Ingredients
    1 packet Simply Better French Made All Butter Croissants
    1 packet Simply Better Italian Prosciutto Di Parma
    6 Simply Better Irish Free Range Corn Fed Large Eggs
    2 Tbsp. Simply Better Jersey Cream
    1 Pack Simply Better West Cork Co-Op Extra Mature Drinagh Cheddar
    2 Tsp. Finely Snipped Fresh Chives
    Simply Better Oriel Sea Salt and Freshly Ground White Pepper
    Simply Better Handmade Tomato Relish, to serve



    Method
    Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F/Gas Mark 5). Place the croissants on a non-stick baking sheet and cook for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave to cool.

    Once the croissants are cooked, heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add two slices of the prosciutto and cook for about 10 seconds on each side to just crisp up. Transfer to a plate while you cook the remainder.

    Break the eggs into the frying pan over a low heat and add the cream and season with salt and pepper. Stir gently with a spatula, allowing large curds to develop. Switch off the heat while the eggs are still very soft as they will continue to cook.

    Carve each croissant in half and add slices of the Cheddar on to each one and then place the slices of Prosciutto on top. Add spoonfuls of the softly scrambled eggs then top with the other half of the croissant. Arrange on plates and garnish with the chives and serve with some of the tomato relish.1d
