Servings: persons

For Grits
4 cups goat's milk (whole cow's milk will do)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup grits
1/2 cup goat cheese
1 tablespoon honey (or to taste)
For Ham, Egg, and Gravy
3 tablespoons butter, plus extra as needed for frying
4 thin slices country ham
1/2 cup brewed coffee
4 eggs
2 tablespoons chopped chives (optional)

1
Bring milk, salt, and nutmeg just to a boil over medium high heat, stirring frequently to prevent scorching.
2
Slowly whisk in grits and reduce to a simmer. Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring every so often to prevent sticking.
3
When thick and cooked through, remove from heat and stir in goat cheese, honey, and salt to taste if desired.
4
While your grits are cooking, melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter in a cast iron skillet and fry your ham until browned over medium heat, about 2 minutes per side. I fry two slices at a time to fit them in the pan.
5
Once all your ham is fried up, deglaze the pan with the coffee, scraping at the browned bits with a wooden spoon.
6
Simmer until reduced by a third and then swirl in one and a half tablespoons of butter. Pour off into a bowl and reserve.
7
Wipe down your pan and fry your eggs in the rest of the butter, and serve the grits topped with ham, gravy, and an egg. And a napkin.
