Toasted Hominy Bacon and Eggs. Such an easy and delicious breakfast served with a poached or fried egg.
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 didn’t discover Hominy until i moved to the South ! My teenage daughter and i loved it and asked whats that!! I so enjoyed this recipe. And i always have fresh herbs growing! I made it with poached eggs. Now since its January i need to skinny it up😊! Maybe turkey bacon?! I def want to eat this more often! Thank you for sharing your tasty recipe! I am going to share this with other Hominy lovers!!!
Good Morning Jewels and thanks so much for taking the time to write a review about this recipe. So glad you enjoyed it. I love your idea of Turkey bacon.
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
Thanks so much for your note Gloria. I must think about it next time for a seafood side dish.
This is going to be a breakfast dinner here tonight. only question i have is… is there anything else i can use in place of shallots as i have none. looks delish
I just fine chop onions when I don’t have shallots. Enjoy
Those classes sound wonderful! What a delicious-looking breakfast and one I’d love to try. The seasonings must make this so tasty too.
I love the classes at Sur La Table and recently learned so much from the Caramel class. let me know if you sign up for another one soon, I’d love to join you!
I’m taking the pie baking class this next Tuesday.
Bacon involved? I’m in! This looks awfully tasty, and is pretty quick too — my favorite combo! Thanks.
I just made this for dinner and it was absolutely incredible. Think I’m going to make it again for breakfast tomorrow. Thanks for a stellar recipe! 🙂
Thanks so much for letting me know Nicole. I thought it was good and so easy.
I’m coming over for breakfast! Totally good this is! And loved meeting you Lea Ann!
Thanks Abbe. C’mon over. 🙂
Damn right it’s a perfect weekend breakfast. Enough said.
Thanks Adam, and easy enough for the J.Rockford.
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,
Linda
I believe I have a package of grits in the pantry… next weekend. Thanks Linda.
Hi Lea Ann, breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, love this.
Me too Cheri. Thanks.
Goodness gracious! That looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thanks Eric.
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.
You’re welcome Larry. I don’t miss much that Chef Mark says. As you can tell I’m loving the classes.
Hominey is one of my favorite things to eat! Never thought about it for breakfast! Looks and sounds delicious!
I love Hominy!
