Get ready to indulge in a delicious combination of flavors with our scrumptious Salmon and Cheesy Eggs with Grits recipe!
Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup grits
- Salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Fresh chives for garnish
Instructions
In a medium pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Stir in the grits and a pinch of salt, reduce the heat, and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5-10 minutes.
Stir in butter and adjust the seasoning, then cover to keep warm.
While the grits are cooking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt, and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flaky. Drizzle with lemon juice and set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, cheddar cheese, milk, and a pinch of salt until well blended.
In the same skillet used for the salmon, reduce heat to low and pour in the egg mixture. Stir gently until the eggs are soft and creamy, being careful not to let them overcook.
Plate the creamy grits, top with cheesy eggs, and place a salmon fillet on each plate. Garnish with fresh chives.
