Step 1: In a saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil and stir in the grits. Reduce heat and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened.
Step 2: While the grits are cooking, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the ham steaks for about 5 minutes on each side until caramelized and heated through.
Step 3: In a separate pan, fry the eggs to your desired doneness. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4: Once the grits are cooked, stir in butter, cheddar cheese, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 5: To serve, spoon the cheesy grits onto plates, top with a seared ham steak, and place a fried egg on top. Garnish with chopped chives.
