Ingredients

Serves:

4 cups water

2 tablespoons cider vinegar

1 cup stone-ground grits

1/2 cup whole milk

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese (optional)

salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

1/2 pound sweet sausage links, meat removed from casing

1 5-ounce container baby spinach (about 6 cups)

6 free range organic large eggs

Directions

In a medium saucepan combine the grits, water and vinegar and stir well. Put a lid on the grits mixture and place it on the counter and let grits soak for 7 to 8 hours or overnight.

Bring the grits to a boil, whisking, until thickened and tender about 10 minutes. Whisk in milk, salt and cheese, until hot and keep warm, covered.

Cook sausage, in a large non-stick skillet, over moderate heat, breaking it up with a wooded spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Reserve skillet and transfer sausage to a bowl and keep warm, covered.

Cook spinach in reserved skillet, stirring constantly, until just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with nutmeg and salt and pepper to taste. Reserve skillet and transfer to bowl with sausage and keep warm covered.

Add oil to skillet and cook eggs over moderately low heat, until whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes, for sunny-side up eggs.

Divide grits among serving bowls and top with sausage, spinach and eggs.

Note: The nutrition information for this recipe does not include the optional grated cheese.
