Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat 4 individual soufflé dishes with 1 tsp vegetable oil.
- Make 3-4 slits in sweet potatoes; cook in microwave until just soft. When sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel, cut into chunks, and puree in food processor.
- Heat remaining vegetable oil in sauce pan, and sauté kale about 5 minutes.
- In a medium sauce pan, boil water and milk, add grits and sweet potatoes; cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in sautéed kale.
- Divide grits mixture evenly among 4 soufflé dishes (or place all in casserole dish).
- Make 4 depressions in the grits mixture with the back of a large spoon. Carefully break one egg into each hollow.
- Bake uncovered for 30 minutes until eggs are cooked. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.
Tip
Add cinnamon and curry to the potatoes for a deeper, more layered flavor.
