Zubereitung von Creole Garlic Grits
- Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of stone-ground grits. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the grits are thick and creamy, stirring occasionally.
- While the grits are simmering, cook 4 slices of bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease in the skillet.
- Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet with the bacon grease. Once melted, add 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese into the cooked grits until melted and smooth.
- Fry 2 eggs to your liking (sunny-side up recommended) in the same skillet, using a little of the reserved bacon grease if needed.
- Divide the grits among two plates. Crumble the cooked bacon over the grits.
- Top each serving of grits with a fried egg.
- Serve immediately with warm cat head biscuits (recipe not included).
