Ingredients

4 cups water ($0.00)

1 tsp salt ($0.05)

1 cup quick cooking yellow grits* ($0.27)

2 Tbsp butter ($0.22)

1/2 cup whole milk ($0.15)

4 oz medium cheddar, grated ($0.75)

4 large eggs ($1.08)

1 cup salsa ($1.67)

4 green onions, sliced ($0.23)

Freshly cracked pepper ($0.02)

Instructions

1 Add the water and salt to a medium sauce pot. Place a lid on top, turn the heat on to high, and bring the water up to a rolling boil. Once boiling, stir in the grits. Turn the heat down to low, replace the lid, and let simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until thickened.*

2 Add the butter and milk to the grits and stir until the butter has melted and the grits are smooth. Stir in the grated cheddar, one handful at a time, until fully melted in and smooth. Leave the lid on the pot with the burner turned off to keep the grits warm.

3 Cook four eggs using your favorite method (fried, scrambled, soft boiled, etc.). Slice the green onions.

4 To build the bowls, place one cup of the cheddar grits in a bowl, top with one egg, 1/4 cup salsa, some freshly cracked pepper, and a sprinkle of sliced green onions.
