Green Chile Cheese Grits and a Poached Egg

Green Chile Cheese Grits and a Poached Egg
This is the perfect southwestern breakfast. I posted the recipe for the cheese grits a few years back, traditionally I serve this recipe for green chile cheese grits ever year for Easter with roast lamb. The tradition actually started in my husband's family many years ago and carried on into my family starting twenty years ago. Now I would never consider serving anything else for my families Easter celebration dinner. There is something to be said for tradition, that and the fact that everyone looks forward to this amazing dish, year after year. Shown here are the Green Chile Cheese Grits topped with a poached egg. I have a poached egg pot, more like a steaming pot for eggs. See the photo below. It came from William Sonoma, I am not sure if they still sell it, mine was purchased a few years back. I love the poaching pot because it makes it so easy to make four poached eggs all at once, and they cook in just a few short minutes. Please see directions below for traditional poaching method or a fried egg would be a great substitute. This is a special treat and each year the day after Easter I look forward to making this very thing for breakfast. It is perfection! I hope you agree.

Ingredients
  1. Green Chile Cheese Grits (see link below)
  2. 4 Eggs
  3. Pam cooking spray to coat egg cups
  4. Salt to taste
Instructions
  1. Slice Green Chile Cheese Grits into square cake like servings. Plate one piece on a plate and microwave for 45 second - one minute, to reheat. Adjust time according to your microwave. Meantime poach the egg in a pot, serve poached egg over the grits, season with salt and serve.
Notes
  1. TIP: Poaching the perfect eggs - I have a handy egg poacher, which is from William Sonoma. It basically is a steamer with four cups. If you love poached eggs I highly recommend investing in one of these handy kitchen tools. If you do not have one you can opt for frying your egg or poaching in a boiling bath with ½ teaspoon of sea salt. Bring water to a gentle boil add sea salt stir water with a large spoon and gently drop each egg into the center of swirling boiling water. Continue to cook each egg accordingly. Remove each egg with a slotted spoon and serve. For a runny yolk cook approximately 2 – 3 minutes, for a firmer cooked egg continue to cook for 4 - 5 minutes. (I do not use vinegar - because you really don't need it and it make the egg taste like vinegar, which is a big turn off!)
