Miso Oatmeal with Charred Kale & Soft Boiled Eggs

Lately, I’m a savory oatmeal evangelist. This dish is warm, comforting, nutrient dense, and perfect for literally any meal. The possibilities are endless when it comes to toppings, flavor-bases, and even the type of oats you use. This recipe serves as a basic introduction for anyone new to the concept of a savory oatmeal you can have for dinner. I’m calling for steel-cut oats here, as they retain a bit of texture even when cooked.

• 1 cup steel-cut oats
• 4 cups water
• 2 tablespoons white miso
• 1 teaspoon salt, divided
• 1 head lacinato kale
• 1 tablespoon neutral oil
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 4 eggs
• flaky salt for garnish, optional
• chili crisp for garnish, optional
