Savory Breakfast Cakes

I am interested in repurposing leftovers. It's creative and helps save money. I've made many different repurposed dishes, but decided I should start keeping track of them. I'll throw something together that turns out great and never have it again because I didn't write it down. This one I wrote down and even took pictures!

Yield: six 3 to 4" cakes
1/2 c leftover cooked steel cut oats
2 eggs                                                                                                
½ tsp garlic salt                                                                                 
½ tsp pepper
1 garlic scape or green scallion, diced
2 tbs grated parmesan, optional
2 kale leaves, deboned and diced
1/4 c arrowroot starch

In a medium bowl, stir and mash eggs and oats together.  Stir in salt, pepper, scape, parmesan and kale. Mix thoroughly. Add starch a tablespoon at a time making sure to blend well. If it isn't well blended, you will taste bits of starch in the cake. Add 1 tablespoon of grapeseed or olive oil to a skillet on medium heat. Spoon about ¼ cup cake mixture into the skillet smoothing and forming a patty. Cook approximately 3 minutes per side, until light brown. Serve plain or topped with sour cream, salsa or a sprinkle of parmesan.
