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

Not a fan of this recipe. The cheesy grits were too thick and the curried poached eggs were overcooked. The curry sauce was also too spicy for my taste. I would not recommend this dish.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. The cheesy grits were cooked well, but lacked flavor. The curried poached eggs were also underwhelming, with a curry sauce that was too mild. Overall, I was disappointed with this dish.
