Baked Cheese Grits
Directions
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
- Add water and 3/4 tsp salt to a 4-quart heavy pot and bring to a boil. Add grits in a slow stream, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and gently simmer, stirring frequently to avoid sticking, until very thick (about 30 minutes).
- Add butter, remaining 1.5 tsp salt, pepper, garlic, and cheese. Stir until butter and cheese are melted.
- Lightly beat eggs and milk in a small bowl, then stir into grits until combined.
- Pour into an ungreased 8-inch square baking dish (2 inches deep) and bake until set and lightly browned (about 1 hour). Serve immediately.
