Creamy, Cheesy Grits with Curried Poached Eggs image

I first tried curried poached eggs when I lived in Germany. It was delicious with that rich, runny yolk, and serving it over cheesy grits seemed to be the next best move. I'm happy to say my inkling was right. -Shannon Copley, Upper Arlington, Ohio

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but I can see how others might enjoy it. The grits were creamy and well-seasoned, and the poached eggs were cooked perfectly. I would recommend using less curry powder next time.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. The grits were creamy, but they lacked flavor. The poached eggs were also a bit overcooked. I would recommend adding more seasoning to the grits and cooking the eggs for a shorter amount of time.
