Yield 1 cup serving

Number Of Ingredients 19

For the grits:
•2 cups water
•Salt
•1/2 cup quick cooking grits
•1 tablespoon butter
•Half-and-half
For the scrambled eggs:
•2 eggs
•Salt and pepper
•2 tablespoon water
•1 tablespoon sour cream
For the poached eggs:
•1 egg
•Salt
•1 tablespoon vinegar, see Cook's Note*
For the crumbled sausage:
•1 pound ground bulk country sausage
•Grated cheese, for topping
•Chopped parsley leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the grits: Bring 2 cups of salted water to a boil. Slowly stir in 1/2 cup quick grits, stir immediately and reduce the heat, then bring back to boil. Add butter and stir. Reduce the heat and simmer. Let cook approximately 4 minutes, then stir in half-and-half to desired creaminess. Cook grits to taste, up to 30 minutes. For the scrambled eggs: Have pan heating on stovetop over medium-high heat. Crack 2 eggs into a bowl. Add salt and pepper, water and 1 tablespoon sour cream. Whisk together. Add butter to pan. Pour in egg mixture and use spoon to scramble. For the poached eggs: Have water boiling in a large pot on stove. Add a sprinkle of salt and 1 tablespoon of vinegar to water. Use spoon to swirl water and drop egg into the middle. Cook for approximately 3 minutes for an over-medium egg. Remove from water. Allow water to drain off the egg before serving. *Vinegar helps the egg to hold its shape by causing the outer layer of the egg white to congeal faster. For the crumbled sausage: Prepare according to package instructions. To assemble: Spoon grits into mug, about 2/3 full. Spoon sausage on top of grits. Add poached or scrambled egg. Sprinkle cheese on top then garnish with parsley.
