It's been a little bit (read: 13 years) since I last added to my cooking blog, and with the new year, it's time to keep going.
One of my favorite things I've discovered is Bircher Müsli, a Swiss oat-based breakfast dish. Ironically, I first discovered it on a cruise I took a long while ago with Norwegian, and once I found it in their breakfast buffet, I had it every morning. It had so much that I loved about breakfast - soft oats, ripe fruit, zesty yogurt, and crunchy nuts - all in one sumptuous dish. Only recently, when a craving for Bircher Müsli hit, did I realize I should probably find a recipe that would work for me. I discovered a delicious recipe from Steffis Foodblog, Gaumenfreundin, which needed some translation into English.
Bircher Müsli
Steffi
150 grams steel-cut oats (for best results, use the old-fashioned oats rather than instant)
300 millileters milk
2 small apples (I usually use Gala or something similar)
1/3 cup nuts (I usually use walnuts or pecans, whatever is your favorite)
200 grams Greek yogurt
2 teaspoons lemon juice (fresh-squeezed is best)
2 teaspoons honey
cinnamon
The night before, mix the oats with the milk and set in the refrigerator. The next morning, they will be ready for the rest of the ingredients.
Wash the apples with hot water and soap to remove the wax coating. Use a shredder to finely shred the two apples, peel and all, and mix with the lemon juice. Coarsely chop the nuts. Mix all together, and serve!
I find the recipe will supply enough food for a few days, so prepare to have seconds of this delicious Swiss dish!
