Prep time: 30 MinTotal time: 30 Min

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup The Old Mill Grits
• 2 tablespoons butter
• ½ cup milk
• 6 oz. sharp cheddar cheese, grated
• 4 slices thick cut bacon, chopped
• 4 large eggs
• 1 jar (16 oz) The Old Mill Red Ripe Tomato Relish
• 1 tablespoon hot sauce
• ¼ cup heavy cream
• ½ teaspoon The Old Mill Ground Roasted Veggie Seasoning
• ¼ cup chopped green onion

Instructions

1. Heat 4 cups water and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Gradually whisk in grits and cook, stirring often, until grits are done, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in butter, ½ cup milk, and cheese. Cover.
2. Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 6-8 minutes. Remove bacon to drain on paper towels, reserving drippings in skillet. Crack eggs into skillet, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook 1-2 minutes or until desired degree of doneness. Remove eggs from skillet.
3. Add tomato relish, cooked bacon, hot sauce, heavy cream, and seasoning to skillet and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer 2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
4. Stir grits, adding a little more milk if necessary to thin them out a bit. Divide grits evenly among 4 bowls. Top each with an egg and spoon the tomato gravy over the top. Sprinkle with green onions.
