Over the weekend I was at a loss for breakfast ideas. We had four eggs and some cheese and I knew that wouldn't be enough for a scramble for two. I looked into the pantry and saw some polenta and dig! A lightbulb went off! How about cheesy grits with poached eggs? So I gave it a try and it was not only delicious but also a good looking dish! So here it is. Feel free to try different cheeses or add some jalapeño for spice.
1 cup stone ground grits or polenta
2 cups water
1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
2 tablespoons butter
salt to taste
2 eggs, poached (You can poach the eggs in advance)
Bring 2 cups of water to boil. Add grits and continue to whisk. Turn heat down to low and keep stirring for approximately 5-8 minutes or until the mixture starts to thicken. Add salt, pepper, butter and cheese. Remove from heat and continue to stir until cheese is melted. Scoop into a bowl and place poached eggs on top. Serve with bacon!
