Bourbon Barrel Breakfast Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Grits

   In a pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Gradually stir in the grits and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. When thickened, stir in the cheddar cheese until melted and combined.

2. 2

   Cook the Sausage Patties

   In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Cook the sausage patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until browned and cooked through.

3. 3

   Fry the Potatoes

   In the same skillet, add more olive oil if necessary, and add diced potatoes. Season with salt and cook until crispy and golden, about 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

4. 4

   Make the Hoecake

   In a bowl, mix together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, salt, and milk until smooth. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Pour in batter to form small pancakes. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.

5. 5

   Cook the Eggs

   In a separate pan, cook the eggs to your liking (scrambled, fried, or poached).

6. 6

   Assemble the Dish

   On a plate, serve the eggs alongside the sausage patties, a generous scoop of cheese grits, crispy breakfast potatoes, and a hoecake. Top the hoecake with apple butter.
