Irish Breakfast Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Grits

   In a medium pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice grits and salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until the grits are creamy and tender.

2. 2

   Cook the Bacon

   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel to drain excess fat.

3. 3

   Poach the Eggs

   In the same skillet, bring water to a gentle simmer. Crack the eggs into a small bowl and gently slide them into the simmering water. Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes or until the whites are set, and the yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon.

4. 4

   Combine and Serve

   Once the grits are cooked, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted. Serve the cheesy grits in bowls topped with crispy bacon, chopped green onions, and poached eggs. Season with black pepper to taste.
