1
Prepare the Eggs
Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them lightly with a fork if you prefer scrambled, or leave them whole if you like them sunny side up or over easy.
2
Cook the Eggs
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little olive oil. Pour in the beaten eggs or crack the eggs directly into the skillet. Cook to your desired doneness, seasoning with salt and pepper.

3
Cook the Bacon/Sausage
In the same skillet, cook the bacon or sausage over medium heat until crispy and browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.

4
Toast the Bread
While the eggs and meat are cooking, toast the slices of bread in a toaster or on a skillet. Once toasted, spread a little butter on top.

5
Prepare the Potatoes
If choosing breakfast potatoes, peel and dice the medium potatoes into small cubes. Heat a skillet with a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown and tender, about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6
Prepare the Grits
If choosing grits, bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in the grits and reduce heat to low. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
