30 Days of Oatmeal: Pizza Parfait

 Are you a fan of cold leftover pizza for breakfast? Some are. Some aren’t. I’d probably put myself in the later category.
The Oatmeal Artist has a great pizza porridge recipe, but I wanted to go a bit different. I wanted a quick, on-the-go, savory version. So I went parfait style.



This recipe tastes exactly like a piece of cold cheese pizza, a good piece of cheese pizza-the kind that comes from a pizzeria, not a pizza chain. The spices I added tasted right for me, but feel free to adjust them to your own personal taste.

Ingredients:


½ c quick cooking oats, divided
½ c tomato sauce*, divided
½ c plain yogurt (I used Mountain High Dairy’s whole milk yoghurt**)
¼ t dried basil
¼ t dried oregano
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Sea salt

Directions:


1. Mix together ¼ c oats, ¼ c tomato sauce, and ¼ t oregano. Layer in the bottom of a one cup jar.
2. Add a layer of ¼ c yogurt, topped with a sprinkle of garlic powder and sea salt.
3. Mix together ¼ c oats, ¼ c tomato sauce, and ¼ t basil. Layer in jar.
4. Add another layer of ¼ c yogurt, topped with a sprinkle of onion powder and sea salt.
5. Refrigerate overnight, or for at least eight hours.


*I used home-canned tomato sauce, which can be runnier than store-bought. Adjust liquid amounts as needed.

**Use whole milk yogurt for best flavor. Low-fat or fat-free yogurt will be runnier and have less flavor.

30 Days of Oatmeal: Pumpkin Chili Cheese


Maybe I should have called this recipe risotto. I didn't taste the chili as much as I tasted the oregano, and with the addition of pumpkin, oh, was it creamy and rich.


Add gooey melted cheese, and this is a satisfying savory breakfast (or perhaps dinner!).


Ingredients:


1/2 c quick cooking oats
1 c water
1/2 c pumpkin puree
1/4 t chili powder
1/4 cumin
1/4 t garlic powder
1/4 t onion powder
1/4 c shredded cheese

Directions:


1. In a small sauce pan, combine oats and water. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium.
2. When oats reach desired consistency, add pumpkin puree and spices. Stir to mix.
3. When oats are warmed, transfer to a bowl and top with the shredded cheese.
