Omelet

Bacon

Cream Cheese Grits

Method

Omelet

  1. 1

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

    In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well combined. Add salt and black pepper to taste, and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Prosciutto

    In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the prosciutto and cook for about 1-2 minutes until it’s slightly crispy.

  3. 3

    Cook the Omelet

    Pour the egg mixture over the prosciutto in the skillet. Allow it to cook undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes until the edges start to set. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.

  4. 4

    Fold and Serve

    Once the cheese is melted and the omelet is cooked through, gently fold it in half. Slide it onto a plate and keep warm.

Bacon

  1. 5

    Cook the Bacon

    In a separate skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess fat.

Cream Cheese Grits

  1. 6

    Cook the Grits

    In a saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, slowly stir in the grits. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  2. 7

    Add Cream Cheese and Gouda

    Once the grits are thickened and creamy, stir in the cream cheese and gouda cheese until fully melted. Add salt to taste.
