Green miso porridge with eggs

We know breakfast oats as creamy-topped-with-berries porridge kind.

This recipe came along when I was feeling fatigued on omelettes, yogurt and granola. This savoury porridge packs in leafy greens and seasoned with an uncommon oat-y flavour pairing. Miso.  

You could triple your ingredients to batch and pack for work meals. When food supplies are low, this recipe makes for a quick lunch or dinner, add leftover meats (pulled pork + chilli flakes would be ideal!). 

serves two-three. 10 mins prep + cook time
