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!

Nothing an evening cocktail can't fix...

 I am trying to come up with a basic set of question to facilitate a daily post. So maybe the first question should be: 1. What was/is the highlight of your day or week? This week I went to a funeral of one of the saints of our church.  A sweet, sweet woman who was dearly love by so many. As I sat and listened to the testimony of the woman's life I felt truly blessed that I had the privilege of knowing her.  It was a blessing to know that she is no longer suffering. The next question should be; 2. What should I or could I have done differently today or this week? This falls under the category of a good thing and bad ting.  The new season of Lost in Space comes out this week. I LOVED that show when I was growing up!!! Sadly, I have totally forgot what happen last season so  am having to rewatch several of the previous episodes so I can catch up. This happens quite frequently.  Also, Diana Gabaldon has just published the next instalment to her Outlander series.  I have to (again) re-

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!   Later that e
