Ingredients:
6 cups water
2 1/4 teaspoons salt (divided use)
2 cups quick-cooking grits
1/2 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon finely minced garlic
1/2 lb coarsely grated cheddar cheese
3 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Bring water and 3/4 teaspoon salt to a boil.
3. Add the grits in a slow stream, stirring constantly.
4. Reduce heat and gently simmer, stirring frequently to avoid sticking, until thick (about 8 minutes).
5. Add butter, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, pepper, garlic and cheese.
6. Stir until cheese and butter are melted.
7. Lightly beat eggs and milk in a small bowl, then stir into grits until combined.
8. Pour into an ungreased 8 inch square baking dish that is 2 inches deep.
9. The grits will almost fill the baking dish and will puff up when baking, but will not overflow.
10. Bake until set and lightly browned, about 1 hour.
11. Serve Immediately.
