Cooking Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water or chicken broth to a rolling boil, gradually whisk in 1 cup of stone-ground grits and 1 teaspoon of salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes until thick and creamy.
  2. Stir in 2 tablespoons of butter until melted. Keep the pot covered to maintain warmth.
  3. Prepare salsa by combining 1 cup of diced tomatoes, 1/4 cup of finely chopped onions, 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro, and juice of 1 lime in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Crack 4 fresh eggs into the skillet and cook until whites are set, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Spoon a generous portion of creamy grits into serving bowls, place a fried egg on top.
  6. Spoon prepared salsa over each fried egg, layer with avocado, sprinkle with cheese, and add cilantro. Optionally, add sliced jalapeños.
  7. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
