Posting this tonight so you can make cheesy sweet potato grits this weekend! Grits are so underrated and make an amazing breakfast base with endless topping opportunities. This recipe makes a delicious savory and sweet breakfast.
Add 1 cup of water and 1 cup of milk to a saucepan. Bring to a simmer on medium heat. Once it’s simmering, add 3/4 cup of grits and stir. Cook on low-medium heat (keeping it at a light simmer) for 10-15 minutes, or until it gets thick. Then, turn off the heat and stir in 1/2 cup of mashed sweet potato, 1/3 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, a pinch of salt, and 1 tablespoon of butter. Divide onto two plates and top with a poached egg, fresh greens (like micro greens or arugula), avocado, honey, crushed red pepper, black pepper, and flaky salt.
