Terrific breakfast. From The Evolution of Cajun and Creole Cuisine by John Folse. Even better with cooked Jimmy Dean hot sausage!

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups grits
5 cups water
3 tablespoons butter

1/2 cup andouille sausage, finely diced
4 tablespoons cheddar cheese, shredded
1 tablespoon black pepper

  • The next morning use a 3" round cookie cutter to cut circles (about 8 patties).
  • Heat oil in large skillet over medium high heat.
  • Prepare egg wash: Beat egg and milk together.
  • Dip patties into egg wash then flour then egg wash then bread crumbs.
  • Pan fry until golden.
