Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for buttering the baking dish
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3 cups milk
Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/4 cups grits (not instant)
3/4 cup grated sharp Cheddar
3/4 cup grated pepper-jack cheese
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 scallion, thinly sliced, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a deep casserole dish.
  • Bring the chicken broth, milk, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and cayenne to a boil in a medium saucepan. Slowly whisk in the grits and lower the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 30 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the Cheddar and pepper-jack cheeses and butter until melted and smooth; cool slightly. Stir in the eggs and transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish. Smooth the top of the grits and then bake until just set and lightly brown, about 1 hour. Let rest for at least 5 minutes. Scatter with the scallions, if using, and cut into squares.

These grits were delicious! The cheese and butter added a richness that made them irresistible. I served them with eggs and bacon for breakfast and it was a perfect start to the day. Will definitely make again.

Tried this recipe last night and it was a hit! My family loved the cheesy, creamy texture and the slight crunch from the cornmeal. It was easy to make and didn't take too long either. I'll definitely be making this again.
