Rodney's Fried Eggs & Oysters

I've got a song just for you

Okay, yay. And you'll do it later for me? I will do it in a bit. All right, so what are you doing

We're going to make oysters and eggs. Of course, we've got to have bacon

Look at that. I'm going to go ahead and just fill that whole pan. Load it up. All right, you got you some chicken broth right there

Got some chicken broth. We're going to make some grits. I love oysters

I'm just going to drain these. I'm going to take these down here

and I'm going to pour a little buttermilk over them. Marinate the oysters

Yes, I'm going to marinate these oysters. And I'm going to mix in some Creole seasoning

All right, so we're going to bring your chicken broth to a bowl. You're going to add, what, a cup of grits

Some grits, yep. I'm gonna fry this bacon just long enough, y'all

to get me some bacon grease because I'm gonna fry our eggs. So, y'all, Rodney's grating some cheddar cheese

and adding some salt and pepper to our chicken broth You are adding one cup of grits to your broth Is that right Yes Have you always been Rodney so mild

Pretty much, yeah. You just seem like you're the most easygoing. And I'm about ready to take this bacon out

What you laughing about? That's a load of bacon. Huh? It is a load of bacon

But remember, this bacon's got to last us till we get to Oklahoma

Yeah, we need a lot of bacon. And now, I'm going to show you a little trick

When all my children come over and all my friends and I'm doing brunch or breakfast, it takes a lot

So, I'm just going to finish that bacon off in here. And as that cooks y I going to be making a mixture of equal parts flour and cornmeal plus adding some extra Creole seasoning just for our oysters So look at that The bacon is done The bacon is done honey Look at that Just that quick So we going to cut that with a little milk

All right. And let's go ahead and add us about half stick of butter

And then we're going to add that delicious cheese. Look, look, Rodney

Rodney, look at that. Look at that. Oops. Nice. That's my kind of cooking

And while I'm frying our oysters, you can start frying our eggs, okay

All right. Now, our fried oysters are not going to take but just a minute

Oh, those eggs. You're not eating but one egg. Because two of them are mine, right

Those are looking good. Our oysters are looking good Rodney Atkins y is in the house Okay Rodney There your oysters dumpling All right And your grits look so good

I'm fixing your plate first. All right. I'm just going to slip your eggs on that plate

Get back over there, you little egg. This is a very, very simple breakfast

And I'm going to, if it's all right, I'm going to put your oysters right on your grits
