Garlic and Cheddar Grits

Garlic and Cheddar Grits

Diana Rattray
Baked cheese grits make a tasty alternative to potatoes, rice, or pasta. Make these grits with or without the Parmesan cheese topping, and feel free to use mild Cheddar in place of the sharp Cheddar cheese.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup quick grits
  • chicken broth, about 3 cups
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Dash salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup milk or half-and-half
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 12 ounces shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (3 cups)
  • 1/4 cup fresh shredded Parmesan cheese, optional
  • 3 tablespoons butter

Preparation:

Cook the grits according to package directions, using chicken broth instead of water, along with the pepper, salt, and garlic powder.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk or half-and-half.

Heat oven to 350°. Grease a 2 1/2-quart casserole.

When grits are thick, remove from heat and stir in Cheddar cheese, butter, and the egg mixture until well blended. Pour into the prepared casserole, top with the Parmesan cheese, if using, and bake for about 40 minutes, or until set.
Serves 6.
