Yummy!

really tasty, but used scrabbled eggs instead of hard boiled and crumbled sausage instead of cutting up patties. It made the... dish look alot nicerRead more

Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Prepared this dish for my hubby on father's day along with the Neely's peach fritters (which also were a hit) and it turned... out great. The only thing I did different was added a half cup of heavy cream to the grits for the creamy texture. I was kind of nervous about the boiled eggs and considered scrambling them however I'm glad I stuck to the recipe. The boiled eggs went well with the dish. My husband loved the dish so much he requested it for dinner a few days later...yes, dinner. This is yet another Neely hit!Read more

Layered breakfast
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I love the idea of this recipe however I changed it a little by scrambling my eggs instead of boiling them but did the... layering the same. Love your recipes.Read more

Yum

Great recipe! I didn't have tomatoes so I substituted onions. It was good but next time I'll use tomatoes to balance the... flavors better. Also, layer the ingredients to match the picture and not the instructions (grits on top instead of bottom). Read more
