Forget going out to eat or ordering takeout every time you crave Southern food.

Add 1-2 spoonfuls of hot grits to eggs; stir well. Repeat several times until eggs are warm. Stir eggs into saucepan.
Pour mixture into a 2-quart baking dish.
Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until top is golden.
Recommended wine: Riesling, Sparkling Wine, Zinfandel
Riesling, Sparkling Wine, and Zinfandel are my top picks for Grits. In general, there are a few rules that will help you pair wine with southern food. Food-friendly riesling or sparkling white wine will work with many fried foods, while zinfandel is great with barbecued fare. One wine you could try is Schloss Vollrads Riesling Spatlese. It has 4.4 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 30 dollars.

Schloss Vollrads Riesling Spatlese
Classic natural sweet Spatlese with nice acidity and elegant, natural residual sugar. Selective harvest, gentle processing of the must, systematic clarification, slow fermentation and careful finishing are the basics for this traditional Vollrads' Riesling.This wine pairs perfectly with Asian cuisine due to the harmony of sweetness and acidity. Also interesting taste combinations can be achieved through the pairing of blue-veined cheese or a fruit dessert.
