Meats

Grits

Eggs

Pico de Gallo

Chipotle Butter

Method

Meats

  1. 1

    Cook the Meats

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the Canadian bacon until heated through and slightly crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside. In the same skillet, cook the bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on a paper towel. Finally, cook the sausage in the skillet until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove and set aside with the other meats.

Grits

  1. 2

    Prepare the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 tsp of salt, then slowly whisk in the grits. Reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until the grits are thick and creamy. Stir in the Cheddar cheese until melted and well combined.

Eggs

  1. 3

    Fry the Eggs

    In a non-stick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook to your desired doneness (sunny side up or over easy), about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Pico de Gallo

  1. 4

    Make the Pico de Gallo

    In a bowl, combine diced tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and let sit for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Chipotle Butter

  1. 5

    Prepare the Chipotle Butter

    In a small bowl, mix together 1 stick of softened butter and 1 teaspoon of chipotle powder until well combined. Set aside.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the Big Brunch Bowl

    In a large bowl, layer the creamy grits first, followed by the cooked meats (Canadian bacon, bacon, sausage). Top with fried eggs, a generous scoop of pico de gallo, and a dollop of chipotle butter. Serve warm.
