Ingredients
- ½ cup old fashioned grits
- 2 cups water
- ½ teaspoon minced garlic
- ¼ tsp garlic powder to taste
- ¼ teaspoon salt plus extra to taste
- ¾ cups sharp cheddar or gouda cheese or extra to taste
- 2 TBSP unsalted butter
- 2 TBSP milk plus extra if desired to thin
- 2-4 fried eggs (I like adding 2 to each bowl)
- 2 handfuls of fresh baby arugula or spinach
- everything Bagel seasoning (optional) to taste
- salt and pepper to taste
- chopped green onion or chives to garnish
Instructions
- Bring water to a boil in a large saucepan with garlic and salt.
- Stir in grits, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until thick, about 15 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in cheese, butter, and milk.
- I like my grits on the thicker side, but if you'd like them saucier, feel free to add a little extra milk or even cream if you prefer. Sometimes I go all out and add some extra cheese to the mix, just go for it!
- Once the grits are hot and ready, spoon into two bowls and top each with a sprinkle or two everything bagel seasoning and top with freshly fried eggs and arugula. Garnish with green onion or chives if desired and season to taste. Enjoy!
Notes
- As written, this recipe yields a LOT of grits. If you'd like a more sensible serving, simply halve the grits portion of the recipe and you're good to go!
