Creole Grillades Recipe


Creole Grillades Recipe
Grillades (pronounced Gree-yads) originated in Louisiana and are a brunch staple. They are traditionally served over grits, but in modern times they are used as a main dish over mashed potatoes or Stovetop Garlic-Cheese grits (see recipe on my page).

This is a must try for sure. Yummy. I'm not a fan of grits but I love my mashed potatoes and that is what I will serve this over. Can't wait to try. Thanks for sharing.


One of my favorite meals ever. I never tried adding red wine before, that will be added next time I make this dish. Grew up eating grits every Sunday morning. Love them.
