Ingredients:

  • 3 cups water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cups grits
  • 1/2 stick unsalted butter
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 lb cheddar, coarsely grated (2 cups)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk

Directions:

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