- Coop
Ingredients:
- 5 Eggs
- 5 Strips of Bacon, diced
- 5 Breakfast Sausage links
- Cream of Wheat (use package directions)
- 8oz Applewood Smoked Cheddar Cheese, shredded
- 4oz Double Smoked Aged White Cheddar Cheese, shaved
- ½ Green Onions, chopped
- 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
- 1 tsp Ground Thyme
- 1 tsp Rubbed Sage
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- 2-3 tbsp Butter
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Salt
Instructions
Step 1: Mise En Place
- Chop green onions, set aside until the end.
- Crack 5 eggs into a small mixing bowl, set aside until ready to scramble eggs.
- Shred Applewood Smoked cheese and shave double smoked cheese, set aside until ready to use.
Step 2: Cooking Meat
- In a large pan over medium-medium heat, add 5 strips of bacon. Season with black pepper and smoked paprika, season opposite side when you flip the bacon. Cook the bacon until crispy (or as you desire). Let rest on a paper towel lined
- In separate pan for a faster cook (or in the same pan that the bacon was cooked in) pre heat to medium high heat and add sausage to the pan.
- Season with sage and thyme. Cook until sausages are cooked through (or as desired).
Step 3: Scrambling Eggs
- Pre heat a pan over medium/medium-low heat. Melt 1-2 tbsp butter.
- Add eggs and slightly scramble with spatula.
- Swirl eggs around pan evenly.
- Use spatula to drag eggs from top to the center of the pan. Swirl eggs around again and to fill the open spot in the pan.
- Repeat this step to remaining side of the pan ➡️⬇️⬅️.
- Add Garlic Powder, Salt, and Pepper to eggs. Then continue to cook eggs.
- When eggs are finished to your desired level, remove from heat. Let rest in pan or add into a separate bowl.
Step 4: Cream of Wheat
For 2 servings
- In a medium sized pot, boil 4 cups water or milk (if using milk make sure to watch it, or it will boil over).
- Add ½ tsp of salt.
- When liquid is boiling, slowly whisk in ¾ cup Cream of Wheat.
- Lower temp to low and let simmer whisking occasionally to prevent clumping.
- When Cream of Wheat is finished, remove from heat and add in shaved cheese. Stir or whisk until cheese has melted and emulsified into the cream of wheat.
Step 5: Assembly
- Add 1 serving of Cheesy Cream of Wheat to a bowl.
- Next add 1 serving of eggs, bacon, and sausage to the bowls.
- Finished with shredded cheese and chopped green onions on top. Sprinkle cracked black pepper on top, serve with a spoon and enjoy!!

Thank you for this delicious looking breakfast. I learned from viewing this video that you can season your bacon and sausage while cooking it in the skillet; I never knew that. Great tip! Thanks!

Now that’s a hearty breakfast that should hold you til lunch, absolutely! Or, how bout killing “two birds with one stone”…and make it brunch??! That creamy, cheesy, cream of wheat, just by itself, is filling, I’m sure. Delightful presentation!

[@smellwhatcoopiscooking]

Thanks C King!!

[@mysinging748]

I’m sort of a cream of wheat purist, so seeing a savory recipe throws me off a little. I will admit, this looks like a pretty decent recipe and it’s creative to utilize this hot cereal as if it were corn grits. I might have to try a savory recipe myself lol thanks
