Eggs

Bacon

Grits

Toast or Biscuit

Method

Cooking Eggs

  1. 1

    Prepare the Eggs

    In a non-stick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Crack the 2 eggs into the skillet and season with salt and black pepper. Cook until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired doneness, about 3-5 minutes for sunny-side up.

Cooking Bacon

  1. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In the same skillet, after removing the eggs, add the 2 bacon strips. Cook over medium heat until crispy, about 4-5 minutes on each side. Once done, remove from skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess grease.

Cooking Grits

  1. 3

    Prepare the Grits

    In a saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Stir in 1 cup of grits and 0.5 teaspoons of salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until creamy. Stir in 1 tablespoon of butter before serving.

Toasting Bread or Biscuit

  1. 4

    Toast the Bread

    While the grits are cooking, toast 2 slices of bread in a toaster until golden brown. Once toasted, spread 1 tablespoon of butter on top.
