Ingredients

LEVEL 1 (BOTTOM OF POT)

  • 1 cup quick-cooking grits
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 large eggs

LEVEL 2 (CRISPER TRAY)

  • 8 strips uncooked bacon

Utensils needed

  • Silicone-Tipped Tongs

Instructions

Step 1
Place all Level 1 ingredients, except the eggs, in the pot and stir to combine. Then crack the eggs directly onto the grits mixture, keeping the eggs spaced 1 to 2 inches apart.

Step 2
Pull out the legs on the Crisper Tray, then place the tray in the elevated position in the pot above the grits.

Step 3
Place the bacon strips on top of the tray in a single layer. It is okay if they overlap a little.

Step 4
Close the lid and flip the SmartSwitch™ to Rapid Cooker. Select SPEEDI MEALS, set temperature to 375°F, and set time to 10 minutes. Press START/STOP to begin cooking (the unit will steam for approx. 7 to 10 minutes before crisping).

Step 5
When cooking is complete, remove the bacon from the tray. Then use silicone tipped tongs to remove the crisper tray. Remove eggs from grits and stir grits until smooth and combined. Serve warm with eggs and bacon.
