After making this salad, we had quite a bit of flank steak left. So, the next morning we decided to make a breakfast that incorporated the leftover steak. While I really make an effort to not eat eggs, I had to make something to go with the steak that I could eat while Pierre could eat an egg.
I decided on grits despite having made them one other time in the past. The last time I made them was before we got married. It was a fail in my opinion and I decided at that point that I didn’t like them. I have since eaten grits in several restaurants. They are creamy and delicious. This time, I read tons of recipes and tips before venturing into grits again.
The cheesy grits were super successful. They are cheesy and creamy. I can see why so many people enjoy them. This was the perfect breakfast on a Sunday morning and would be even better with some veggies or spinach.
