Grits & Eggs Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Grits

   In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of stone ground grits and 1 tsp of salt. Stir and reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the grits are thick and creamy.

2. 2

   Cook the Bacon

   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the 4 slices of Nueske's applewood smoked bacon until crispy. Once cooked, remove the bacon and let it drain on paper towels. Reserve some bacon grease in the skillet.

3. 3

   Fry the Eggs

   In the same skillet with reserved bacon grease, crack the 2 large eggs. Fry them to your desired doneness (sunny side up, over easy, etc.).

4. 4

   Assemble the Dish

   Once the grits are cooked, stir in the 1 cup of Cabot aged cheddar cheese until melted. Serve the cheesy grits in a bowl, top with fried eggs, crumbled bacon, and chopped scallions. Serve with a biscuit on the side.
