INGREDIENTS

0.25 cup stone-ground grits

1 cup water

0.5 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt

1 ounce sharp cheddar cheese

2 large eggs

0.5 cup liquid egg whites

1 tsp ghee

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp fresh chives

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a small saucepan, bring the water and sea salt to a boil over medium-high heat.

• 2

  Whisk in the stone-ground grits, then immediately reduce the heat to low and cover the pan.

• 3

  Simmer the grits for 15 to 20 minutes, whisking occasionally to prevent sticking, until the liquid is absorbed and the texture is tender.

• 4

  Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the Greek yogurt and shredded sharp cheddar cheese until the mixture is thick and creamy.

• 5

  While the grits rest, melt the ghee in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

• 6

  Pour the liquid egg whites into the skillet and carefully crack the two whole eggs on top of the whites.

• 7

  Cook the eggs undisturbed until the whites are fully set and the edges are crisp and golden.

• 8

  Spoon the cheesy grits into a bowl, slide the fried eggs on top, and finish with freshly cracked black pepper and chopped chives.
