Method

Preparing the Grits

  1. 1

    Cook the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of grits and 1 tsp of salt, whisking to combine. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes or until grits are thickened.

  2. 2

    Add Cream and Cheese

    Once the grits are cooked and thick, stir in 4 oz of cream cheese and 1 cup of shredded Gouda cheese. Mix until the cheeses are melted and well incorporated. Season with black pepper to taste.

Sautéing Greens and Veggies

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

  2. 4

    Sauté Garlic and Veggies

    Add 2 minced garlic cloves and diced bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 5

    Cook the Greens

    Add the chopped local greens to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the greens are wilted and tender. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  4. 6

    Add Scallions

    Stir in the chopped scallions and cook for another 1-2 minutes until heated through, then remove from heat.

Cooking the Eggs

    Cook the Eggs

    In a small non-stick skillet, cook the 2 large eggs to your preference (fried, poached, or scrambled). Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
