Directions: |
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.
