Today, I am going to make cheesy grits for breakfast. I am loving this new fresh mozzarella I found by Stella Cheeses. Fresh cheese has a richer flavor...and it melts beautifully in this recipe. If you haven't tried fresh mozzarella, you are in for a treat.

I have breakfast on my mind today.

Most mornings are so rushed that we don't have time for a delicious hearty breakfast. Now that it is summer, mornings are more relaxed. We have time to get back to basics and enjoy a meal together (when the kids actually get up before 10:00 in the morning!)

I am on the tail end of using up the hatch chiles I fire-roasted a few months ago. I fire roasted them in bulk and then froze the extras. I love their peppery flavor. They are spicy, but not too spicy.

If you are new to hatch chiles, or want to watch my video on how to fire roast hatch chiles, you will want to read all of my hatch chile tips and tricks.

I decided to add the hatch chiles and fresh mozzarella to the grits I was cooking. I love the flavor of corn and hatch chiles together, and I knew they would work well with the egg. (My kids balked at the jalapenos, so add at your own risk!)

Break the yolk and that yummy runny egg flavor meshes beautifully with the creamy grits.

Ingredients:

• Fresh mozzarella cheese
• Fire-roasted hatch chiles
• Milk
• Eggs
• Olive oil
• Chives
• Jalapenos

Instructions:

Making grits stovetop is really easy!!

Cook the grits according to the package. When they are almost ready, add milk, hatch chiles, and diced fresh mozzarella cheese. Cook on low for 10 minutes until the milk is cooked in and the mozzarella cheese is melted throughout.

Fry your eggs sunny side up so the yolk can be broken over the cooked grits. Put the egg on top of the cooked grits and garnish with fresh chives and jalapeno.
