Ingredients

  • 1 cups Water
  • 1/4 cup Quick-cooking Grits (not instant)
  • 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese shredded
  • 2 tsp Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 oz Smoked sausage chopped very small or use ground sausage
  • 4 Eggs
  • 2 slices Sourdough bread toasted (or bread of your choice)
  • 2 tsp Butter optional
  • 1/2 cup Raspberries (Check the Fruit guide to substitute seasonal fruits)

Instructions

  • In a small pot, bring water, grits, salt and pepper to a simmer on medium low heat covered with a lid. Whisk occasionally to prevent any sticking. Cook according to the instructions on the package until they are creamy. (Grits are done when they have a smooth, creamy consistency.) Stir in the cheese. Season with salt and pepper to your desired taste and set aside with a lid to keep warm.
  • Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Once hot, add half the oil. Brown the sausage well until cooked completely then set aside.
  • Add the remaining oil to the pan. Cook until the whites of the eggs are firm then gently flip over and cook for 20 to 30 seconds more. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Toast the bread and butter it if desired.
  • Serve the eggs with sausage and grits, toast, and raspberries.
