🔪 Instructions
1. Marinate the Lamb Chops:
Tenderize the lamb chops if needed, then coat with olive oil and generously season with your spice mix.
Place in a bowl and add Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, and rosemary.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to marinate.
2. Cook the Grits:
Rinse your grits and cook them in water according to package directions (about 10 minutes to start).
Stir in butter, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and season with salt and pepper.
Let simmer on low heat, stirring occasionally, until thick and creamy.
3. Sear the Lamb Chops:
In a hot skillet, melt butter and sauté onion and bell pepper until soft.
Add the marinated lamb chops and cook to your preferred doneness, about 3–5 minutes per side.
Add in fresh rosemary while cooking—it flavors the butter beautifully.
4. Make the Scrambled Eggs:
Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
Cook on medium-low heat, stirring gently.
Once mostly set, sprinkle in the cheese and cook until just melted and fluffy.
5. Build the Brunch Bowl:
Start with a generous spoonful of creamy grits.
Add extra shredded cheese if you’re feelin’ it.
Top with juicy lamb chops and a serving of cheesy scrambled eggs.
Optional: Add a buttery glazed croissant on the side and cold orange juice to sip.
🍴 Tips:
- Don’t skip the cream cheese in the grits—it’s a game-changer.
- Let lamb chops rest 5 minutes after cooking for maximum tenderness.
- Want a veggie? Add some sautéed spinach or collard greens.
