Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb ground pork sausage
5 cups water
2 teaspoons salt
1 cup uncooked quick-cooking grits
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (4 oz)
4 oz cream cheese, cut into small cubes
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
6 eggs
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Steps:

Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) baking dish with cooking spray.
In 10-inch skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until cooked through and no longer pink. Drain well.
In 3-quart saucepan, heat water to boiling over medium-high heat. Stir in salt. Stir in grits with whisk, stirring to ensure lumps have been removed. Reduce heat to simmer. Cover; cook 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add Cheddar cheese, cream cheese and pepper to grits. Stir until cheeses have melted. Stir in crumbled drained sausage; mix well. Pour into baking dish.
Bake 15 minutes. Remove from oven, and carefully make 6 indentions in grits using back of large ladle or spoon. Crack 1 egg into each indention. Sprinkle eggs with salt and pepper.
Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until whites and yolks are firmly set. Garnish with chives.
