You could save this breakfast ringer for a weekend but why? A quick few minutes of assembly before bed and you can wake-up to these delicious grits any day of the week. We topped each serving with a poached or sunny-side up egg for more Southern flare. Super hearty and warming, the cold winter will disappear with each bite of the creamy grits and wilted greens. Cook your egg soft and enjoy the addition of the rich runny yolk in each bite. Kids are sure to like this cheesy breakfast treat as well. Make a double batch over the holidays if you have family over for a brunch. The simplicity of preparation will have you relaxing in no time.

Ingredients

Cooking spray

5 spray(s)

Water

6 cup(s)

Instructions
