    Toasted Hominy Bacon and Eggs

    Hominy and Eggs for an easy Mexican breakfast recipe.

    Toasted Hominy Bacon and Eggs. Such an easy and delicious breakfast served with a poached or fried egg.

    Hominy and Eggs for breakfast

    One of the perks of taking a cooking class from Chef Mark over at Sur la Table is that he’ll casually mention a kick-ass recipe (which is not part of the class) in such a nonchalant way that if you’re not listening you might miss it. A big take away was the Chocolate Tart recipe that I successfully made in my own kitchen. And in our last class we were toasting chickpeas for a Mediterranean meal, and as if it were as common as toast, he mentioned toasting hominy and serving it with a poached or fried egg. With a big “Whoa, whoa…WHOA, back up,” I quickly grabbed my pen, asked him to tell all, and wrote it down before the moment passed. And yay, there is bacon involved.

    Easy and delicious, give this one a try.

      I have cooked hominy this way for years but have added chopped green chilis & onions to it, goes great with fish and BLT. My family loves it!
      Never tried an egg, must do next time

      Bacon involved? I’m in! This looks awfully tasty, and is pretty quick too — my favorite combo! Thanks.

      This looks delicious. My husband used to love grits and fried eggs with bacon. This recipe reminds me of that.
      Good comfort food.

      Wishes for tasty dishes,

      As you know, I’ve put an egg on lots of things but never ever considered hominy – which we both like. This sounds delicious and is just too easy not to try – except mine will require two eggs. Thanks for listening well at class and posting this.
