Specialty Recipe

Southern Breakfast Casserole

Ingredients:

3 to 6 eggs

1 cup quick-cooking yellow grits

4 cups water

1 teaspoon salt

4 ounces chopped yellow cheddar cheese

1 cup cubed or chopped ham

Bread crumbs

Boil the eggs 5 to 6 minutes. Chop. Mix the grits, water, and salt in a medium saucepan. Cook all these ingredients for 2 to 3 minutes until thick, then add the cheese and the ham.

Butter a casserole dish or baking pan and pour the above mixture into it. Lightly top with bread crumbs. You can also top with a bit of Parmesan cheese. Bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Recipe can be separated into individual serving-size casserole dishes. If you use the smaller dishes, bake about 20 minutes or until thick and bubbling.

Low Cholesterol Alternative: Use egg whites only; substitute low-fat or non-fat cheese for the cheddar; use low-fat ham (or eliminate altogether.)
