Swiss Style Müesli

This Swiss Style Müseli is a favorite breakfast dish of mine since I am a fan of all things oatmeal and yogurt. My aunt introduced the concept of this dish to me in 1984. Aunt Kate gave me a recipe for Bürcher Müssli (Swiss), served to her first in 1955 when she was working as a missionary in Neumühle, Germany. Aunt Kate told me that she named this dish after a Dr Bürcher, and the dish was “highly recommended for its wholesomeness.”  Her directions were not ingredient amount specific, and I didn’t have a flair to figuring out the correct proportions. Then my sister Rachel started making her own to eat when she was working night shift, and I decided it was time to learn to do this right.

In August of this year, I was served this dish several times on an Alaskan Cruise on the Eurodam. When the staff called me to check on how the room service was that day, I told the gentleman there was a problem: I needed the recipe. That evening at dinner, I was handed an envelope from our waiter. Inside was the recipe.

Yes!

I have been making this Müesli ever since. 

It’s guaranteed to help you be regular!

This recipe also assures you there are a plethora of variations, and you get to choose.

• choose your fruit and sweetener ingredients – honey, sugar, artificial sweetener or none
• choose to add cinnamon because you have apples
• add a little extra oomph and silk by mixing a dab of cream cheese with your fruit
• add Chi seeds to add protein and thicken your dish
• add a variations of seeds: sunflower, pumpkin, or flax.
• decrease the sugar or omit it altogether, especially if you add raisins
• decrease the amount of honey unless you have a sweet tooth and no cavities

This recipe serves ten people. I’ve divided it into a recipe for ten and for two. Remember that you can make the entire recipe and use it for several days. It works well as a snack in the middle of the afternoon as well!
