From your shelf
- 1 packet (1 ounce) Quaker instant grits red eye gravy & country ham
Staples
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 eggs
- pinch salt
- pinch pepper
- Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a small pot. Stir in 1 packet of the instant grits and reduce heat to low. Cook stirring often until thick, about 3 minutes, until the grits pull away from the sides of the pot when you run your spoon through them.
- While the grits finish, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Crack 2 eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes.
- Divide the grits between two bowls and top each with 1 fried egg. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Serve at once.
Note Swap in a fried ham slice if you have one. Leftover grits will keep three days in the fridge, reheated in the microwave with a splash of water. Serve with hot sauce or a toasted biscuit on the side.
