What each ingredient does
- Oatmeal
- Forms the bulk and body of the porridge as it cooks and thickens in water.
- Grated cheese
- Melts into the hot porridge, adding richness, savoury flavour and a creamy texture.
The step that matters
Adding the cheese. Stirring the grated cheese in gradually, once the oatmeal is cooked, lets it melt smoothly into the porridge. Adding it to a boiling pot all at once can make it clump or turn greasy.
