Classic Hot Breakfast Bowl Recipe

American · Main course · 30 min total

A hearty and warming breakfast bowl featuring creamy grits, crispy bacon, a perfectly fried egg, and fresh avocado, perfect for starting your day.

Ingredients

• 1 cup quick-cooking grits
• 2 cups water
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 slices bacon
• 2 large eggs
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, bring water and milk to a boil. Slowly whisk in grits, reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in butter, salt, and pepper. Cover and keep warm.
2. While grits cook, cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain, then crumble.
3. In the same skillet, fry eggs sunny-side up or to your liking, about 3 minutes for runny yolks.
4. Divide grits between two bowls. Top with crumbled bacon, fried eggs, sliced avocado, and shredded cheese. Garnish with chives and serve immediately.

Tips

• For extra creamy grits, use half-and-half instead of milk.
• To make ahead, prepare grits and reheat with a splash of milk.
• Substitute turkey bacon or sausage for a different protein.
