Ingredients
One recipe of Cheese Grits (link below)
For the Huevos:
- 4 eggs
- 2 tablespoons butter
- salt
- black pepper
- 4 tablespoons salsa or picante sauce your choice of mild or hot
- 4 tablespoons grated cheddar cheese
Instructions
Prepare the Cheese Grits:
- Start by cooking the cheese grits. Follow my recipe in this post: https://www.lanascooking.com/cheese-grits/Keep the grits warm while you cook the eggs.
Cook the Eggs:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- When the skillet is hot, add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan.
- After the butter has melted, tilt the pan to distribute the melted butter all over the surface.
- Carefully crack the eggs into the pan. Add a light sprinkle of salt and pepper if you like.
- Cover the pan and cook until the egg whites have solidifed (2-3 minutes). (If you like your eggs sunnyside up, stop here. If you like them done all the way through, flip each egg over and cook for another minute or so.)
Assembly:
- Place a ladle of cheese grits in the bottom of a small plate or shallow bowl. Add two fried eggs on top of the grits. Top the eggs with salsa or picante sauce. Add grated cheddar on top.
Notes
- Nutrition calculation does not include cheese grits recipe.
- If you have leftover cheese grits, you can store them in the refrigerator for about three days. Reheating is tricky but can be done at 50% power in the microwave, stirring frequently. Or in a double boiler over simmering water.
- Freezing is not recommended.
- Serve southern style with buttered toast and jam or southwestern style with warm tortillas.
