Next, heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and fry them to your desired level of doneness. For a classic Southern-style breakfast, you may want to leave the yolks slightly runny for a creamy, indulgent touch.

Once the eggs are cooked, it's time to assemble your breakfast. Spoon a generous portion of the cheddar-garlic grits onto a plate. Top with a fried egg or two, and season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
