7 Platter Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Grits

   In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and stir in the grits. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened (about 15-20 minutes).

2. 2

   Make the Buttermilk Garlic Biscuit

   Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add buttermilk and stir until just combined. Drop spoonfuls onto a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden.

3. 3

   Cook the Eggs

   In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add a little butter or oil. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny, about 4-5 minutes. Flip carefully for over-medium.

4. 4

   Cook the Sausage, Bacon, or Green Tomato

   In the same skillet, cook your choice of sausage or bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. If using green tomatoes, slice, season with salt and pepper, and pan-fry until golden brown on both sides.

5. 5

   Assemble the Platter

   On a plate, serve a scoop of grits, the two over-medium eggs, the biscuit, and your choice of cooked sausage, bacon, or crispy green tomato.
