This grits bowl have all the components of a hearty, filling and delicious breakfast. Sweet potato hash, sunny side up egg and beautiful Orange Corn grits. I cooked the grits with butter and cheddar cheese to make them extra creamy.
This would be a perfect breakfast/brunch dish for Mother’s day or any day! I made it for my husband a couple a weeks ago and he loved it so much I think I am making again for his birthday this weekend.
