Ingredients
  

For the grits

  • 4 cups water
  • 1 1/2 cups grits
  • 2 Tbsp. butter
  • 1/2 cup goat cheese (plain or herbed), sliced
  • 1 pinch sea salt

For the veggies:

  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 cup portobello mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2-3 cups loose leaf spinach
  • salt, to taste

Optional toppings:

  • bacon or sausage
  • eggs

Instructions
 

  • In a pot on medium heat, combine water and grits and cook until water is absorbed and grits are softened, about 20-30 minutes.
  • Add more water if needed.
  • Once grits are fully cooked, add butter, sliced goat cheese, and salt.
  • Stir until cheese and butter are melted.
  • While the grits are cooking, warm a pan with olive oil to medium heat.
  • Sauté mushrooms and garlic until mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Then add spinach and cook until slightly wilted. Add salt to taste.
  • Divide grits into bowls and top with veggies.
  • If using bacon, crumble or slice 2 pieces per bowl.
  • If using eggs, I suggest frying 2 eggs per bowl and placing them on top of veggies.
