Mushroom and Goat Cheese Buckwheat

It's Recipe Redux time! This month we are creating savory breakfast dishes. Anyone else get sick of the traditional American sweet flavors at breakfast? This Mushroom and Goat Cheese Buckwheat is delicious! I used goat milk and goat cheese but you could substitute any milk and any crumbled cheese you prefer. I used buckwheat but any porridge style grain would work. You can check out my blog series on ancient grains if you want to try something different.

Mushroom and Goat Cheese Buckwheat

Serves: 1

• 1/2 cup cooked buckwheat goats
• 3/4 cup mushrooms (any variety)
• 2 Tbsp goat cheese plus 1 Tbsp
• 2 Tbsp milk (I used goat milk)
• 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp dried thyme
• parsley or fresh thyme for garnish, as desired

1. Make sure the buckwheat goats are cooked and reheat if needed.
2. Saute the mushrooms in the olive oil for about 4 - 5 minutes or until desired tenderness of mushrooms.
3. Add milk, 2 Tbsp goat cheese, salt and thyme to warm buckwheat groats. 
4. Top groats with mushrooms, additional 1 Tbsp goat cheese and fresh parsley. 

Eggs scrambled, soft cooked or even hard boiled are also excellent with this dish.
