Black Pepper Grits with Roasted Tomatoes, Caramelized Onions, Steak, and Over Easy Eggs

As I’ve mentioned before, I’m a major egg fan. Poached, over-easy…ok, I admit it, anything with a rich, runny yolk has my heart all a-flutter. But since Matt is not much of a breakfast fan, I don’t often indulge my cravings to have breakfast for dinner. Which is a shame, because it’s easy and super fast, and it’s the perfect way to use whatever sounds good.

This dish certainly had several items that were cooked different ways, but I optimized space and still managed very little cleanup (and some leftovers). You could always use sauteed tomatoes (I just love the flavor and juiciness of the roasted), bacon, sausage, or any leftovers you had in the fridge (grits are a pretty delicious delivery system for almost anything). In the end, it may not be the prettiest thing to look at, but that doesn’t matter, because first chance I got, I smashed it all up into one, big, delicious bowl of breakfasty goodness.

Quick Dinner Idea: Breakfast for Dinner

There are a lot of breakfast lovers in this world…but I’m not one of them. I used to love diners that would serve lunch foods all day long, and my favorite thing about flying was that airport food was rarely restricted by “normal” meal times. I am, however, an egg lover. In Spain, I tasted the glory of a fried egg on a burger, and since then, I’ve pretty much liked a fried egg on just about anything. And because of that, I became a big fan of breakfast. The best thing about breakfast, is it’s quick, savory, and usually cheap. So here’s an idea for you to try out the next time you have breakfast for dinner: creamy grits (add your favorite cheese if you like), caramelized onion, and a fried egg. If you want, add bacon, sausage, or any other veggies. It’s fast and oh-so good.
