Savoury Oatcake Fillings:
Simply place grated cheese, cooked bacon, tomato, and cooked mushrooms in an oatcake and microwave it on full for about a minute. You can also grill them or eat them cold. Using large chunks of cheese instead of the grated variety gives the most interesting texture and flavour. Other great savoury fillings are tuna and sweetcorn; ham and cheese; cheese and onion; smoked salmon; cream cheese; and even chicken tikka masala!
