Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 c chicken broth
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
2 c regular grits
16 oz cheddar cheese, cubed or shredded
1/2 c milk
4 large eggs, beaten
1/2 c unsalted butter
8 oz grated sharp white cheddar, or other white cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 4-quart casserole dish (13x9-inch baking dish)
  • 2. Bring the broth, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to a boil in a 2-quart saucepan. Stir in the grits and whisk until completely combined. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the grits are thick, about 8-10 minutes. Add the cubed cheese and milk, and stir.
  • 3. Temper the eggs by adding a 1/2 cup of the grits to the eggs and whisk. Gradually stir in the eggs and butter to the pot of grits, stirring until all are combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle with the white Cheddar and bake for 35-40 minutes or until set.
