I made a batch of grits, added some cheeses (Laughing Cow Light Garlic & Herb and a little shredded cheddar), then stirred in a handful of fresh spinach leaves, and some chopped fresh herbs (lemony thyme, tarragon, and sage). The grits on their own were so tasty. Not sure why I don’t add fresh spinach & herbs….always. When ready to assemble, I spooned grits into oiled ramekins, made a well in the center of each and added an egg.

The grits and eggs are baked at 400 degrees for 20 minutes until the whites are set. A final sprinkling of cheese and salt & pepper and you’re ready to enjoy this carefully thought out and freshly delivered breakfast of Baked Grits & Eggs with Spinach & Fresh Herbs.
