Georgia Pecan Muesli
Chef Scott Peacock, who was recognized with the James Beard Foundation award for 'Best Chef in the Southeast', shares this favorite breakfast recipe, which was adapted from a signature dish at Watershed restaurant. This cereal provides plenty of nutrients and energy, while enhancing the sweet, toasty, tender flavor of Georgia pecans.

1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup oat bran
1/4 cup light brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt
Yogurt or milk to serve
Fresh fruit and honey (optional)
Cooking Directions:
