I looove this breakfast. It’s creamy, cheesy, hearty, and oh-so-satisfying. My favorite protein choice is Apple-Sage Field Roast sausages or Tofurkey Italian sausage, or sometimes I go with black beans or pinto beans.
Servings: 1
Ingredients
Grain
- 1 oz dry corn grits a.k.a polenta
Veggies (6 oz Total)
- Kale, chard, collard greens, or spinach chopped
- Red onion diced
- Mushrooms sliced (I prefer cremini or portobello)
- Bell pepper diced
Protein
- 1/2 cup plant-based milk of choice 4 oz
- 1/4 cup sliced veggie sausage, beans, or crumbled tempeh
Seasonings
- 2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1-2 drops liquid smoke be careful, this stuff is strong!
- Pinch smoked paprika
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a little oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat and sauté the sausage, onions, mushrooms, and peppers for a few minutes. For an oil-free breakfast, dry-sauté the veggies covered with a lid.
- Add a pinch of minced garlic and the greens for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.
- Meanwhile, cook the grits according to package directions, replacing 1/2 cup (4 oz) of water with the milk. Add the seasonings and the nutritional yeast. Keep adding water if the grits seem to firm up too much. They will continue to firm up a little when you remove them from the heat, just like oatmeal does.
- Combine everything, season to taste, and enjoy this savory, delicious start to your day!
