Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 cups water
Pinch of coarse salt
1 1/2 cups quick-cooking grits
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 pound (1 3/4 cups) shredded cheddar cheese
4 large eggs
Salt and ground pepper
1/2 pound (1 3/4 cups) shredded cheddar cheese, plus 1/2 cup coarsely grated cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a 3-quart saucepan, bring water to a boil; add coarse salt. Stir in quick-cooking grits; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thick and creamy, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Stir in unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, and 1 3/4 cups shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
  • In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Slowly whisk eggs into grits mixture, being careful not to let them scramble. Season with salt and ground pepper. Add hot sauce to taste.
  • Pour mixture into a buttered 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup coarsely grated cheddar cheese. Bake until golden brown, about 45 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover cheddar cheese. The grits were creamy and cheesy, and the eggs were cooked perfectly.

A bit bland for my taste. I'll try adding some more cheese next time.

Cheesy and delicious! I added some diced ham and green onions for an extra kick. It was a hit with the family.
