Bake the pancetta
2 Bake the pancetta

Make the grits
3 Make the grits

Meanwhile, add the polenta to the pot of boiling water; whisk to thoroughly combine. Reduce the heat to medium. Cook, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming, 3 to 5 minutes, or until thickened. Turn off the heat. Add the butter, parmesan, and half the goat cheese (crumbling before adding); season with salt and pepper. Stir until melted and combined. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

4 Bake the eggs & serve your dish

Add the grits to the baking dish of baked pancetta (carefully, as the oil may splatter); gently stir to combine and spread into an even layer. Using the back of a spoon, create 4 shallow wells in the grits. Carefully crack an egg into each well; season with salt and pepper. Evenly top with the mushroom duxelles and remaining goat cheese (crumbling before adding). Bake 10 to 12 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired degree of doneness. Remove from the oven and let stand at least 2 minutes. Serve the baked eggs and grits topped with the sliced chives, sliced peppers, and crispy onions. Enjoy!
