Southern Eggs En Cocotte or the less snooty Baked Grits, Sausage, Cheese and Eggs in a bowl!

Southern Eggs En Cocotte

I saw this on my ever faithful Food Network a few weeks ago. I thought it looked really good and super simple. It’s one of those thing you see and you think now why didn’t I think of that!

Y’all this was so easy and it was very good and it could not have been simpler.

spray your baking dishes…                  brown up your sausage…

cook up your grits…                            I used a combination of different shredded cheese…

ladle the grits in the bowls…                spoon over the browned sausage…

sprinkle with cheese…                        make an indention for the egg…

crack an egg in each indention…

Bake in 400 degree oven until eggs reach the desired doneness you like. The recipe calls for 10 to 15 minutes but for me I need to cook them about 20 to 25 minutes. I did not like the semi runniness of the egg after just 10 minutes!

I served these up with some lemon poppy seed muffins!

I had a smidgen of grated cheese left over so I gave each egg a small sprinkling of cheese!

Announcing the “I won…You Win Giveaway!!!”

Several weeks ago I was the lucky winner of a book giveaway from Mocha with Linda . Click here to read her post about this book! As I finished the book up the other day I began to think about the two women the story centers around. The story begins with two pen pals in elementary school and they continue with there friendship for many, many years through letters and emails, but they have never actually met, not until things change for the main character. Her life takes an unexpected turn and she finds herself face to face with her long time pen pal. I began to think of the similarities between the two women in the book and all of you, my fellow bloggers. As members of this unique internet community we enter into each other lives as we read each others posts, as we comment, share encouraging words or just a well needed giggle now and then. But what I enjoyed as I read this book was the depiction of the friendship these two women shared. They had been intimately involved...

Sunday, March 13   Monday, March 14 This is coming up in the herb garden. My sweet furry family member decided it was his greatest joy to pull almost all my plant labels out of the ground and use them for chew toys.  I think this is marjoram but I am not sure. Tuesday, March 15 Click on the link Southern Eggs En Cocotte for the recipe. It was real good y’all!   No pictures on Wednesday, March 16 Thursday, March 17 Can you tell who was at my house all day?   I guess she figured since her toys were scattered all over the floor that she would join them. She laid down sprawl-eagle and did the back stroke for several minutes then switched to rolling from tummy to back all the way into the living room!   Friday, March 18 Today was cake decorating day. Click here to see the start to finish. Saturday, March 19 Today was Muffinhead’s birthday party at a local park! The sun was shinning and the weather was beautiful and a good time was had by all...
