Time 1h55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

cooking spray
4 cups milk
1 stick butter
1 cup instant grits (such as Quaker®)
1 teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ stick butter, melted
1 cup grated Swiss cheese
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Coat a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  • Bring milk and 1 stick of butter to a slow boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in grits, salt, and pepper. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Pour into the prepared baking pan. Place in the refrigerator until firm, at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Remove chilled grits from the refrigerator and cut into rectangular pieces. Remove pieces from the baking pan and then drop them back into the pan randomly, as if they were falling domino tiles. Pour melted 1/2 stick butter over grits and sprinkle with Swiss and Parmesan cheeses.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until grits are cooked through and cheese is melted, 25 to 30 minutes.

Overall, I thought this was a good recipe. The grits were creamy and cheesy, and the eggs gave them a nice fluffy texture. However, I would make a few changes next time. I would add more salt and pepper, and I would cook them for a few minutes longer

These grits were too runny for my taste. I think I would use less milk or water next time.

The cheese wasn't melted all the way through in the center of my grits. I think I would cook them for a few minutes longer next time.
