How to make Leftover Tomato soup/sauce with grits and eggs
One of my favorite things to eat in the morning. It's also really good with polenta, but I was out of conrmeal and made grits (pretty similar). Easily doubled or tripled or whatever for more people, just make sure to use a larger pan for the sauce!
- Bring the cup of water to boil, well salted, for the grits.
- When the water is boiling, add the grits, bring back to a boil, then reduce to low and cover.
- Heat the soup/sauce in a shallow saute pan on medium-low heat. If necessary, add some water to provide more poaching liquid.
- Crack the eggs right into the pan, poach for about 10 minutes.
- Scoop the grits into a bowl. Stir in some cheese, if you'd like, then scoop the sauce on top, followed by the eggs. The eggs should be just a bit runny. Top with black pepper and more cheese, if desired.

mickeykitterman saysI love my grits in the morning with sausages or shrimp gravy-I never thought of tomato soup, but it sounds good.

SamLRoth saysWell, it's loosely based on more Mediterranean dishes made using polenta, but grits are damned delicious and go well with just about everything.
