Grits and Eggs

Instructions

1. Cook the grits:
   • In a saucepan, bring water, milk, and salt to a gentle boil.
   • Slowly whisk in the grits.
   • Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring often, until thick and creamy (about 5–7 minutes for quick grits, or 15–20 for regular).
   • Stir in butter and cheese (if using) until smooth and melted.
2. Cook the eggs:
   • You can fry, scramble, or poach the eggs — whatever you love most!
   • Season with salt and pepper.
3. Assemble:
   • Spoon creamy grits into bowls.
   • Top with your cooked eggs.
   • Add a pat of butter on top and any extras — like crispy bacon bits or a drizzle of hot sauce 🔥
