Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the half-and-half and 6 cups of the chicken stock and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once up to a boil, stir in the grits. Bring it back up to a boil, and then reduce the heat to low and cover. Simmer, stirring frequently, until the mixture has slightly thickened (it should resemble cooked oatmeal in thickness), 10 to 15 minutes. Use a whisk to break up any lumps that have formed.
- Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until just turning crispy, about 7 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel, patting it to remove any excess fat. Using the same saucepan, add the onions to the leftover bacon drippings and saute until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Then add the collard greens and the remaining 2 cups chicken stock and cook until tender, another 10 minutes. Drain the collards and onions in a colander.
- Once the grits are done, add the Parmesan, butter, salt, pepper and 1/2 cup of the Monterey jack. Stir until the butter has melted and all the ingredients are well combined. Then add the drained collards mixture and stir.
- Transfer the grits mixture to the prepared baking dish and top with the crumbled bacon and the remaining 1/2 cup Monterey jack. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 15 minutes.

Tips:
- Choose the right grits. Stone-ground grits have a more coarse texture and nutty flavor than regular grits. Quick-cooking grits are also an option, but they will cook up softer.
- Use flavorful stock. Chicken stock or vegetable stock will add more flavor to the grits than water. You can also use a combination of stock and water.
- Don't overcook the grits. Grits should be cooked until they are creamy and tender, but not mushy. Overcooked grits will be gluey and unpleasant.
- Add your favorite toppings. Grits are a versatile dish that can be topped with a variety of ingredients. Some popular toppings include cheese, bacon, eggs, salsa, and hot sauce.
Conclusion:
Green chile and egg grits are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. They are perfect for a crowd, and they can be made ahead of time. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy a hearty and flavorful meal that will keep you satisfied all day long.
