Directions

  1. 1

    Spread half of grits mixture in pan; place bacon lengthwise on top of grits. Spoon remaining grits over bacon. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Fold plastic wrap over grits; chill 8 hours.
  4. 4
    Combine tomatoes and remaining 3 ingredients; cover and chill.

    Invert grits loaf onto a cutting board; remove and discard plastic wrap. Cut loaf crosswise into 4 slices. Place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Broil 3 inches from heat (with electric oven door partially opened) 10 minutes on each side or until golden. Top evenly with tomato mixture.
