Baked Oatmeal With Berries and Almonds

The recent breakfast compilation from NYT Cooking had lots of exciting ideas for my favourite meal of the day. Unfortunately, this baked oatmeal was a dud.

I had high hopes for this recipe as I like oatmeal, I like almonds, and I like berries. But this whole grain custard was a little strange and unfamiliar.

While spoonfuls of this warm breakfast were good at first, I couldn’t get over the semi-soft texture of the almonds, or the odd combination of oats, egg, and berries. Would not make again.
