Ingredients:
3 cups water
1 cup quick cooking grits
1/8 tsp salt
2 tsp garlic powder
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided into 1 cup portions
1 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tbsp milk
1 egg
Bring the water to a boil. Whisk in the grits, salt and garlic powder. Reduce the heat to low.
Cook for about 5 minutes. The grits will thicken.
Remove from heat. Stir in the butter, milk and 1 cup shredded cheese. Set aside.
In a bowl, beat 1 egg. Carefully temper the egg by slowly adding about ¼ cup of the grits to the egg while whisking the egg. Add the egg mixture back into the pot of grits.
Pour the grits into a greased baking dish.
Top with the remaining 1 cup of cheese.
Bake on 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes.
Remove the Baked Cheesy Grits from the oven and allow to rest for about 5 minutes.
Serve with your favorite main entrée. This is great to use for our Shrimp ‘n’ Grits recipe.
