Instructions

Scrambled Eggs

In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
Pour in the egg mixture and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are soft and creamy.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley or chives, if desired.

Sausage and Peppers

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced sausage and cook until browned on both sides.
Add the bell pepper and onion, cooking until softened (about 5–7 minutes).
Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Creamy Grits

1. Bring water or milk to a boil in a medium saucepan.
2. Slowly stir in the grits, reduce the heat to low, and cook according to package instructions. Stir frequently to prevent clumping.
3. Once cooked, stir in butter and shredded cheese (if using). Season with salt and black pepper.

Notes

Consistency Matters: For creamier scrambled eggs, cook over low heat and stir gently.
Cheesy Grits: Add your favorite cheese, like cheddar or Parmesan, for a richer flavor.
Customizable Veggies: Swap green bell peppers for red, yellow, or even poblano for variety.
Make Ahead: Grits can be made ahead of time and reheated with a splash of milk to restore creaminess.
