Method

Meats

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Flip halfway through.

  2. 2

    Cook the Sausage

    In the same skillet, add the sausage links and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until browned and cooked through.

  3. 3

    Heat the Ham

    In the skillet, add ham slices and heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side until warmed through.

Eggs

  1. 4

    Fry the Egg

    In a small non-stick skillet, heat a small amount of oil or butter over medium heat. Crack the egg into the skillet and cook to your desired doneness (sunny-side up, over-easy, etc.), about 3-5 minutes.

Pancakes

  1. 5

    Prepare the Pancake Batter

    In a bowl, mix pancake mix and water until combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

  2. 6

    Cook the Pancakes

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and pour in 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

Grits

  1. 7

    Cook the Grits

    In a saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Stir in the grits and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

  2. 8

    Add Cheese

    Once the grits are cooked, stir in cheddar cheese, butter, salt, and pepper until melted and creamy.

Fruit Bowl

  1. 9

    Prepare the Fruit Bowl

    Chop mixed fresh fruits into bite-sized pieces and combine in a bowl. Serve chilled.
