Ingredients:

Serving

1 head garlic
1 tbsp olive oil
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
5 cups cold water
salt
2 cups regular grits
4 tbsp unsalted butter
8 oz crumbled blue cheese
1 large dashes tabasco sauce
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup heavy cream

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400°F.
Brush garlic with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast on a baking sheet for 15-20 minutes, until soft and caramelized. Set aside to cool.
Pour water into a heavy saucepan over medium heat; add salt. Slowly stir in grits, adding in a steady stream.
Bring to a boil and cook, stirring, for about 10 minutes, or until thick and smooth with a soupy consistency. Add more water if necessary.
Squeeze garlic into grits. Add Tabasco, butter and cheese, keeping aside a large handful of cheese to garnish.
Stir in eggs and cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour into a baking dish and sprinkle with reserved cheese.
Bake for 30-40 minutes or until puffed and golden. Serve with roast chicken or pork.
