"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

2 cups whole milk
2 cups chicken broth
1 t. kosher salt
1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal or grits

Add:
2 cups frozen yellow corn
1 cup red bell pepper, diced

Directions:
Bring water and vinegar to a simmer in a saute pan for poaching the eggs.

Combine milk, broth, and salt in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Whisk in the grits in a steady stream, stirring constantly. Cook according to package directions.

Add the corn, bell pepper, and jalapeño; cook an additional 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper, and reduce heat to low.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add the tomatoes and ham; saute 2 minutes, or until ham begins to brown. Off heat, stir in the cilantro.

Slide the eggs into the poaching water one at a time, then gently swirl the water to prevent sticking. Poach eggs 3–5 minutes, or to desired doneness. To assemble, divide grits among four plates, then top with a poached egg and some of the tomato mixture.

Sprinkle each with feta and serve immediately.
