1
Prepare the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
2
Cook the Grits
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Gradually whisk in the NC milled grits, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring frequently until thickened. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.
3
Cook the Eggs
In a separate skillet, cook the eggs to your liking (fried, scrambled, or poached) over medium heat. For fried eggs, cook for about 2-3 minutes per side.
4
Toast the Bread
Toast the slices of Dukes Wheat or Housemade Rye bread until golden brown, either in a toaster or on a skillet.
5
Serve
On each plate, serve the crispy bacon, a generous scoop of grits, the cooked eggs, and a serving of fresh fruit. Add the toasted bread on the side.
