Bircher Muesli
This dish is something I have known for the most part of my life, ever since my earliest childhood but I never ever thought about making it myself. I would usually forget that it existed until it was offered somewhere, being super happy, eating and enjoying it, just to forget about it again.
So, finally I decided to make it myself. After all it is just some oats and fruit and dairy. As usual, I started with a fair amount of research, found the original recipe from Maximillian Brenner-Bircher, the Swiss nutritionist who invented it and many, many contemporary versions.
Eventually, I have come up with a combination of some relatively new takes on the muesli that are still close and true to the original one. It is a great breakfast for after a intense workout and it doesn't take long to assemble at all - minus the time it takes to soak the oats.
