Ingredients

  • 1 cup grits
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 package garlic cheese
  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 large egg beaten

Instructions

  • Cook grits in salted water. When done, add one package (roll) cheese
  • with garlic. Add one stick butter and stir until cheese and butter have
  • melted.
  • Beat egg in separate bowl. Spoon small amounts of hot grits into eggs,
  • beating quickly with each addition, until egg mixture is hot. Pour eggs
  • into grits and stir quickly.
  • Pour into small buttered casserole dish.
  • Bake at 300 degrees for about 30 minutes.

Notes

NOTES : Things I have learned over the years (Anne Moman):
Do not use instant grits. I use Jim Dandy Quick Cooking Grits.
Regular grits are good, also. Cook according to directions.
Use only 2-3 tablespoons of butter.
I have substituted mild cheddar cheese and added a little garlic
powder.
This recipe freezes well. Freeze before baking or freeze
leftovers. When I have frozen unbaked grits, I thaw only one
hour--then cook until hot and puffy which usually takes about an
hour or more.
Cooking time is 30 minutes when grits are hot to begin with.
